It’s a beautiful day here in Upper Michigan so I decided to fire up the grill and give this Grilled Chicken Parmesan Recipe a try.
This recipe actually applies the sauce to the top of the chicken as it is grilling. I wasn’t real sure how this would hold up but to my surprise it stayed on top of the chicken nicely. This Grilled Chicken Parmesan Recipe has excellent flavor, and the flavor from the grill makes for a delicious added touch. This is a simple recipe with not a lot of prep or cooking time. Just be sure to pound down the chicken breasts good to cut down on the cooking time.
The next time you fire up the grill give this Grilled Chicken Parmesan Recipe a try. Enjoy

- Lightly spray or oil grates and preheat the grill to medium high heat.
- Pound the chicken breasts down evenly to about 1/2 inch thick. Salt and pepper them to taste on both sides. Place the chicken on the grill and cook until browned on one side. Flip the chicken and top with 2-3 tablespoons of the Parmesan tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Close the lid and grill until cheese is melted and chicken is done. (160F.)
- Serve the extra sauce with spaghetti, or a side dish of your choice.
