GRILLED CHICKEN 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.

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.

Steps:
- Place chicken in a bowl with a lid, add marsala to cover.

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.

Grilled chicken parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
