  We compute the off-forward diagonal non-singlet generalized parton
distribution of the pion in two distinct chiral quark models: the
Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with the Pauli-Villars regulator and the Spectral
Quark Model. The analysis is carried out in the impact-parameter space.
Leading-order perturbative QCD evolution is carried out via the inverse Mellin
transform in the index space. The model predictions agree very reasonably with
the recent results from transverse-lattice calculations, reproducing
qualitatively both the Bjorken-x and the impact-parameter dependence of the
data.
