Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Tostada shells
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 6 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 1 cup Fresh cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly on both sides.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Then, chop it into small pieces or shred it.
While the chicken rests, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the tostada shells on a large baking sheet. Lightly brush each shell with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Top each tostada shell with slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, followed by the grilled chicken pieces, and an even layer of halved cherry tomatoes.
Bake the tostada pizzas in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the tostada pizzas from the oven and sprinkle them with fresh basil slices.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over each tostada pizza for a sweet and tangy finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Chicken Margherita Tostada Pizzas!
