1

Begin by marinating the chicken breast. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.

2

Coat the chicken breast with the marinade, ensuring it's evenly covered. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

3

While the chicken is marinating, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breast on the grill pan.

4

Cook the chicken for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is nicely grilled.

5

In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the chicken, cover the pan with a lid, and allow the cheese to melt.

6

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

7

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
