Step 1
In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Rub the mixture over 2 chicken breasts.
Step 2
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, until charred and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
Step 3
While chicken cooks, slice 1 tomato and 1/2 red onion into thin rounds. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Let the chicken rest for 3 minutes, then slice. Serve topped with the tomato-onion salad and fresh basil leaves if you have them.
