Method
Preparation
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Coat the chicken breasts with the mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Garlic Pesto Aioli
In a food processor, combine mayonnaise, garlic, fresh basil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Grilling
Grill the Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Add Cheese and Pepperoni
In the last 2 minutes of grilling, place slices of fresh mozzarella and spicy pepperoni on top of the chicken to melt the cheese.
