How to make Grilled Chicken Parmesan - Weber Genesis - Everyday BBQ

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining texture.

Cut up chicken breasts and tenderize them.

Prepare marinade with about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of canola oil, 3 to 4 tablespoons of zesty Italian dressing, and 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese. Add black pepper to taste.

Mix the marinade and place the chicken in it to marinate.

Preheat the Weber Genesis grill.

Place the marinated chicken on the grill and sear it.

Flip the chicken once while grilling and check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer, aiming for 160 to 165°F.

Remove the chicken from the grill once cooked and place it in a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.

Spread a layer of homemade marinara sauce at the bottom of the baking dish and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top.

Add the grilled chicken on top of the marinara sauce.

Cover the chicken with more marinara sauce and top with mozzarella slices and additional Parmesan cheese.

Cover the baking dish with foil and return it to the grill, using indirect heat.

After about 20 minutes, check for bubbling and melted cheese, and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes if needed.

Remove from the grill and plate the dish for serving.
