Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
4 small sprigs fresh rosemary, stemmed and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Mazola® Corn Oil
¼ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
½ red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
½ green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
½ yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 cup crushed tomatoes with oregano, basil, garlic
2 tablespoons capers
½ cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Place 1 chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Pound chicken with a flat meat mallet or rolling pin until the chicken is 1/2-inch thick. Cut the pounded breast in half and repeat with the other piece of chicken. You will end up with 4 pieces of chicken.
Place the chicken, garlic, rosemary, sherry vinegar, oil, salt and pepper in a large resealable bag. Seal and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Preheat grill pan or large skillet to medium hot.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and drain; discard any remaining marinade.
Cook the chicken for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side.
Mediterranean Topping Option: While the chicken cooks, grill the peppers and onions on the same grill pan or in a skillet sprayed with cooking spray for 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip the chicken and top each piece with an equal amount of crushed tomatoes, grilled peppers and onions, capers, cheese and parsley. Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheese is starting to melt. Serve immediately.
