Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 to 8 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced ¼ inch thick
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves

Method
 

  1. Heat grill to medium-high, about 400°F (200°C). Pound chicken to ½ inch thickness, brush with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Grill 5 to 7 minutes per side until internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
  2. While chicken grills, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring a few times.
  3. Spoon warm marinara over each grilled chicken breast, top with mozzarella and Parmesan, then close the grill lid or broil for 2 to 3 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
  4. Transfer to plates, scatter torn basil over the top, and serve hot.

Notes

If your chicken breasts vary a lot in size, give the thicker ones an extra minute on the grill and check the temperature. The prep time accounts for heating the marinara while the chicken cooks. A grill pan on the stovetop works beautifully if you do not have an outdoor grill.
