Total time: P0Y0M0DT0H30M0.000S
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each); 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill; 1 teaspoon dried oregano, plus more for topping; Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper; 1/2 cup pizza sauce; 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced; 1 large tomato, thinly sliced; Small fresh basil leaves, for topping; Red pepper flakes, for topping (optional)

Directions

Preheat a grill to medium high. Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pound each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap with the flat side of a meat mallet or heavy skillet until 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Brush the chicken on both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with the oregano, salt and pepper.
Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the chicken until cooked around the edges, about 3 minutes. Flip and spread the top of the chicken with the pizza sauce. Top with the mozzarella slices, then the tomato slices. Cover and grill until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is slightly melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the chicken pizzas from the grill. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil and red pepper flakes.
