Grilled Chicken Parmesan

When it is 98 degrees outside, the last thing I want to do is turn the oven on to 450... and add to the heat.
I LOVE to grill and make it a daily routine in the summa time!
But... we were craving some yummy Chicken Parmesan, so I was determined to stick with routine, and turn on the grill!
Boy was it a success!
Ingredients: 2 Chicken Breasts, Italian Flavored Bread Crumbs, One Egg, Spaghetti Sauce, Spaghetti Noodles, Mozzarella Cheese
Tools: Wax Paper, Meat Pounder, Knife or kitchen scissors, 2 Pots, 1 Grill
Turn the grill onto high
Put a pot of water on the stove to begin boiling

Trim the breasts of fat, gross

Pound the chicken. It cooks faster and evenly on the grill if this is done. You can use a rolling pin if you don't have a meat pounder

Whisk up the egg in a bowl

Dip the chicken into the whisked up egg

Sprinkle bread crumbs on both sides of both chicken breasts.

Turn the grill down to medium heat
Place each breast on the grill

Cut thin slices (or thick if you prefer) of the Mozzarella cheese. I cut them the long way down the cheese so they'd fit nicely on the chicken breast


Prepare sauce to brush onto the chicken.
Bring a spoon and a brush out to the grill with the sauce, but DO NOT put it on until you've checked that your chicken is done.

Once your water starts boiling, put your noodles in.
Also start a pan of the rest of your spaghetti sauce, turn on low just to heat it up.

Move the chicken to the top rack and turn the heat back up to high. Place a spoon full of sauce on each breast and spread with the brush.

Place one slice of cheese on each breast and let melt.


Serve it up! I put it on the noodles and poured



Add a little parmesan

Delicious with a side salad and a big glass of water :) Or thats how I had it anyway!
