In a large bowl, combine chicken, salt, black pepper, olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to create the marinade. Make sure the chicken is well-coated and allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each chicken breast and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

In a separate bowl, mix together cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, and chopped basil.

Top each grilled chicken breast with about 2 tablespoons of basil pesto, followed by a generous scoop of the tomato-basil mixture, and a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.
