1.Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

2.In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3.Brush the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture on both sides to ensure they are well coated.

4.Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

5.During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast to allow it to melt slightly.

6.Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

7.Drizzle the basil pesto over the grilled chicken breasts, allowing it to soak in.

8.Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
