GRILLED CHICKEN PARMESAN PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and pour back into the pot it was cooked in.
• Add the Prego® Italian Sauce, chopped grilled chicken, 2 cups of shredded mozzarella and provolone, 1 cup of parmesan cheese and fresh chopped basil.
• Mix together and pour in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella and provolone cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until cheese is melted.

GRILLED CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high. Make sure the grates are clean so the chicken doesn't stick.
• Arrange a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. On a work surface, using a meat mallet or small heavy pan, pound the chicken evenly until it is 1/4-inch (6 millimeters) thick. Remove the plastic wrap and transfer to a baking sheet; repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Brush both sides of each chicken cutlet lightly with oil.
• Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken cutlets. Place the chicken cutlets on the grill and cover the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and spread a few tablespoons marinara sauce over each cutlet and top with a couple pieces of mozzarella and 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Serve hot.

THE BEST PARMESAN CHICKEN BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic and hot red pepper flakes.
• Arrange the chicken breasts in bottom of the dish, and pour marinara sauce over chicken. Sprinkle basil over marinara sauce, and top with half the mozzarella cheese, followed by half the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle on the croutons, then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until cheese and croutons are golden brown and the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 35 minutes to an hour, depending on the shape and thickness of your chicken breasts. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

• Spread 1/4 cup of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place chicken on top. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce over the chicken.
• Top with grated and shredded parmesan and mozzerella cheese.
• Place dish uncovered under broiler for 3 minutes (or until cheese is melted).

GRILLED CHICKEN PARM

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken. Place the chicken skin-side down in a snug pan or platter with sides, then evenly apply the lemon zest, thyme leaves and 2/3 of the garlic and massage it into the flesh. Pour 1/4 cup of the olive oil over the chicken, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight, or leave on the countertop for an hour or so while you prepare the rest of the dish.
• Make the tomato sauce. Heat broiler on high. Put the tomatoes into a food processor, and pulse a few times to break them up. Pour the chopped tomatoes into a small sheet pan with sides, then slide it directly under the broiler, and allow it to cook until much of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce has become thick, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, then pour into a bowl.
• Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil into the tomatoes, along with a pinch of salt, to taste. Set aside.
• Make the kale. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan with a lid over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the remaining garlic, and cook until it turns fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add kale to the pan, turn the heat to high and add a splash of water. Use a spoon to toss the greens in the oil and water, then cover and cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, until the kale is soft and wilted, but still quite green. Remove cover, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until all the liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove the kale from the pan, sprinkle with basil and set aside.
• When you are ready to cook the chicken, build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn one burner to high, leaving the others off, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes.)
• Put the thighs on the side of the grill without coals, skin-side down, cover the grill and cook until skin is crisp and the flesh has started to whiten, about 12 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over, and top each one with a piece of mozzarella. Cover the grill again, and cook for an additional 8 minutes or so, or until the cheese has melted entirely and the chicken has cooked through. (Thighs are done when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees.)
• Ladle the tomato sauce onto a large platter, and top with the cooked kale. Nestle the chicken on top of the kale and sauce. Sprinkle the Parmesan, some red-pepper flakes and a little salt over the top of the chicken, and serve.
