Grilled Chicken Parmesan

You can easily adapt this to serve larger or smaller families.  See my note at the bottom to see how I make it even easier.

4 (4-ounce) trimmed boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Olive oil in a sprayer
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
6 tablespoons finely shredded mozzarella cheese
2 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Preheat a grill to high heat.

Lightly mist both sides of the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken, turning once, for 3-5 minutes per side, or until it is no longer pink inside and juices run clear. Transfer to a baking dish.


Heat the sauce on low in the microwave until warm. Top each breast with 2 tablespoons marinara sauce, followed by 1 1/2 tablespoons mozzarella, and 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan. Bake the chicken ofr 3-5 minutes, or just until the cheese is melted.


**I do this so much easier. I put frozen chicken breasts into a 9x13 pan, pour on the marinara, sprinkle on the cheese, and bake for about 30-45 minutes. Ty also loves this and says that it tastes like Olive Garden's.
