Italian Marinated Grilled Chicken
Prep 20 min Cook 30 min Serves 6 Source

Ingredients

  • ½ pound chicken 6 slices (not too thin) (8-10⅓ ounces)
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pinches salt
  • 2-3 dashes pepper
  • 1-2 dashes thyme
  • 2 large round tomatoes (not too ripe but firm)
  • ¾ cup cracker crumbs (I use saltine crackers)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3-4 fresh fresh basil
  • 1-2 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl add the chicken slices, toss with rosemary, salt, pepper, thyme and olive oil. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for approximately 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, wash and cut thick slices of tomato (3 slices per tomato), on a medium-size plate mix together the cracker crumbs and Parmesan cheese, dredge the tomato slices one at a time in the crumb mixture and grill. Grill on a hot pan-grill or barbecue, on both sides until golden, approximately 2 minutes each side, move to a clean plate.

  3. 3

    Grill the chicken in the same manner until no longer pink inside.

  4. 4

    Place a slice or 2 (if they are small slices) of chicken on top of 1 tomato slice, drizzle with lemon juice, top with chopped fresh basil and thyme if desired. Enjoy!
