GRILLED CHICKEN PARMESAN

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup marinara sauce, store-bought or homemade
4 slices fresh mozzarella
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high. Make sure the grates are clean so the chicken doesn't stick.
  • Arrange a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. On a work surface, using a meat mallet or small heavy pan, pound the chicken evenly until it is 1/4-inch (6 millimeters) thick. Remove the plastic wrap and transfer to a baking sheet; repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Brush both sides of each chicken cutlet lightly with oil.
  • Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken cutlets. Place the chicken cutlets on the grill and cover the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and spread a few tablespoons marinara sauce over each cutlet and top with a couple pieces of mozzarella and 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Serve hot.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 10-inch piece baguette
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes (about 5), quartered
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Pinch of red pepper flakes
4 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Cut off a 1 1/2-inch piece of the baguette and pulse in a food processor to make breadcrumbs. Add the tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pulse until the tomatoes are finely chopped but not pureed. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; add the garlic and cook until just golden, about 1 minute. Add the red pepper flakes and tomato mixture and bring to a simmer; cook until the sauce thickens slightly, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium high. Toss the chicken with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, the oregano and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Split the remaining baguette in half lengthwise and then cut in half to make 4 pieces.
  • Grill the bread, cut-side down, until lightly toasted. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side, topping with the mozzarella and covering during the last 2 minutes.
  • Spoon some tomato sauce onto the bread pieces and top with half of the parmesan. Top each with a chicken breast, then the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with basil and the remaining parmesan.

1 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
8 cups Italian-blend salad greens or baby arugula
8 ounces bocconcini (small mozzarella balls), quartered

Grilled Marsala Chicken & Parmesan Salad image

This is an easy salad to make and can be planned a day ahead. Prep time does not include overnight marinade.

Provided by Allison Williams

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 1/2-2 cups marsala wine
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
salt & pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh grated parmesan cheese
1/2 head romaine lettuce
1/4 large red onion, sliced thin
1/4 cup black olives, sliced

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a bowl with a lid, add marsala to cover.
  • Add garlic, thyme, salt& pepper.
  • Marinate in fridge overnight.
  • Grill chicken (indoor or outdoor grill), basting often with marinade.
  • Dressing: mix olive oil, vinegar, and parmesan.
  • Toss shredded lettuce, red onion, and olives.
  • Drizzle with dressing and top with slices of grilled chicken.

Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the chicken breasts, making them more flavorful and juicy.
  • For a crispy coating, make sure to coat the chicken breasts in seasoned bread crumbs twice.
  • Grate your own Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Pre-packaged grated Parmesan cheese often contains additives and fillers.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve the chicken parmesan immediately with your favorite pasta and marinara sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the coating is crispy and flavorful, and the Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So fire up your grill and give it a try!
