  We analyze the impact-parameter dependent diagonal non-singlet generalized
parton distribution of the pion in two distinct chiral quark models: the
Spectral Quark Model and the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. Leading-order
perturbative QCD evolution from the low quark-model scale to higher scales is
carried out with the help of the inverse Mellin transform. The model agrees
very reasonably with the recent results from transverse-lattice calculations,
while the forward parton distribution agrees with the experimental data.
