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.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Be sure to let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of greens, such as romaine lettuce, arugula, and spinach.
  • Add some crunch to your salad with chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons.
  • For a creamy dressing, use a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, and Dijon mustard.
  • If you're looking for a lighter dressing, use a vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs.
  • Be sure to season your dressing to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
