GRILLED CHICKEN PARMESAN

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

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.

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!

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 frozen breaded chicken patties (such as Tyson®)
2 tablespoons garlic butter, or to taste
4 slices Italian bread
1 cup marinara sauce
½ teaspoon dried basil, or to taste
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
6 thin slices provolone cheese
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken patties on a baking sheet.

  • Spread garlic butter onto 1 side of each bread slice.
  • Mix marinara sauce, basil, and garlic salt together in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until warmed, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir.

Cook over medium heat until bread is crisp and cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

GRILLED CHICKEN PARMESAN

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

CHICKEN PARMESAN



Chicken Parmesan image

A classic Italian-American Parmesan - a casserole of fried, breaded meat or eggplant covered with tomato sauce and molten cheese - is all about balance. You need a bracing a tomato sauce to cut out the fried richness, while a milky, mild mozzarella rounds out the Parmesan's tang. Baked until brown-edged and bubbling, it's classic comfort food - hearty, gooey and satisfying. Although chicken or veal cutlets are the standard, boneless, skinless chicken thighs make a more flavorful alternative. Pork or turkey cutlets work nicely here, too.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, turkey or pork cutlets (or use chicken thighs for even more flavor)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 to 3 cups panko bread crumbs, as needed
Kosher salt, as needed
Black pepper, as needed
Olive oil, for frying
5 cups Simple Tomato Sauce (see recipe)
1 cup finely grated Parmesan, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place cutlets between two pieces of parchment or plastic wrap. Using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin, pound meat to even 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Place flour, eggs and panko into three wide, shallow bowls. Season meat generously with salt and pepper. Dip a piece in flour, then eggs, then coat with panko. Repeat until all the meat is coated.
  • Fill a large skillet with 1/2-inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry cutlets in batches, turning halfway through, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle one-third of the Parmesan over sauce. Place half of the cutlets over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with half the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan, and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.
  • Transfer pan to oven and bake until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.
