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.

LAZY CHICKEN PARMESAN GRILLED CHEESE



Lazy Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese image

Wanted to eat a chicken Parmesan sub but didn't feel like spending the time cooking and breading chicken. So I opted to cut corners using frozen chicken patties and pre-prepared ingredients to make my life easier. Picked up the sub rolls and couldn't justify eating that many calories, so opted instead for sliced Italian bread and thin-sliced cheese. Turned out so surprisingly good, I thought I'd share. Enjoy!
