Photo: Grilled Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 pounds thin cut chicken breast, cutlets
- Salt and pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, plus 2 tablespoons
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 small yellow skinned onion, finely chopped
- 1 (28-ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes, such as Muir Glenn brand
- 1 cup, 20 leaves, fresh basil leaves, shredded or torn
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1/2 pound smoked mozzarella, thinly sliced
Directions
Heat outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to high. Season chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to keep it from sticking to the grill. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side and transfer to a foil covered platter to hold. If you are using a grill pan, cook the chicken in 2 batches if necessary. While chicken cooks, make sauce.
Place a medium pot on the stove over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and chopped onions. Cook 10 minutes, stirring often. Add tomatoes and heat through, 2 minutes. Wilt in the basil and season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Preheat the broiler to high.
Layer the chicken with fire roasted sauce in a casserole dish. Top the casserole with Parmigiano and mozzarella. Brown the casserole under the broiler 3 minutes.

Very tasty and easy to make. I use home-made roasted tomato sauce, and breaded chicken with flour/egg/panko, then baked in oven 5 min each side at 350 degree, and 2 min each side at 400 degree. 1/2 tsp red pepper flake was too spicy for us, will try 1/8 tsp. I did not use Parmigiano-Reggiano. I had with pasta.

This is a quick and easy recipe, and it doesn't require too many ingredients. It is essential to get the smoked mozzarella and fresh basil, without those, the recipe wouldn't be the same. The flavor is still a bit simple, but not bad for a quick weeknight meal. Unlike many of the 30 minute meals, this one really does take less 30 minutes start to finish for a normal cook to make.
