Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 45 mins


• preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

• grill the chicken breasts on the preheated grill until the meat is no longer pink inside and the chicken has good grill marks, 5 to 8 minutes per side. move chicken to a cooler part of the grill to keep warm.
• while the chicken is cooking, mix together the tomatoes, basil, green onions, garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice in a bowl.
• place an 8-inch square piece of aluminum foil the grill, and move a cooked chicken breast the foil. top the chicken breast with about 1/4 cup of the tomato mixture, and sprinkle the topping with about 2 teaspoons of parmesan cheese. repeat for the other pieces of chicken.
• close the lid on the grill, and grill the chicken breasts until the topping is hot, 2 to 3 more minutes.
