Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons New York Pizza Infused Olive Oil Blend
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 1/2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves torn
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon butter

Equipment

• 1 Grill Medium heat, preheated
• 3 Shallow Dishes For flour, egg, and breadcrumb stations
• 1 Tongs For turning chicken on the grill
• 1 Foil-Lined Baking Sheet For broiling the finished chicken
• 1 Small Saucepan For warming the marinara sauce
• 1 Instant-read thermometer To check doneness

Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. 2. Brush the chicken lightly with New York Pizza Infused Olive Oil Blend and let it rest while you set up the breading station.
3. 3. Place the flour in one shallow dish, whisk the eggs with milk in a second dish, and combine the breadcrumbs with Parmesan in a third dish.
4. 4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the egg mixture, then coat it well in the breadcrumb mixture.
5. 5. Preheat a grill to medium heat and oil the grates. Grill the breaded chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until lightly charred and mostly cooked through.
6. 6. Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan with the butter and a teaspoon of the blend, stirring until glossy.
7. 7. Move the grilled chicken to a foil-lined baking sheet, spoon sauce over each piece, and top with mozzarella.
8. 8. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese melts and bubbles.
9. 9. Finish with torn basil and chopped parsley, then serve hot.
10. 10. For best texture, let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before slicing or plating.

Notes

The breadcrumb crust will be a little softer than oven-breaded chicken, which is exactly what makes this version feel hearty and saucy. If the chicken breasts are very large, split them into thinner cutlets for easier grilling and more even cooking. Avoid overloading the sauce so the cheese can melt cleanly on top.

Recipe Tips

Keep the grill at medium heat so the chicken cooks through without drying out, and let the sauce simmer just long enough to turn glossy before assembling. A light brush of the blend on the chicken before grilling helps carry the pizza-inspired herb flavor from the first bite to the last.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this with garlic bread, a simple green salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete dinner. It also works well sliced for a casual buffet, game day spread, or family-style table.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or air fryer so the chicken stays tender and the topping keeps some texture.

Variations

Swap the mozzarella for provolone, add sautéed mushrooms, or tuck a few pepperoni slices under the cheese for a stronger pizza-shop feel. You can also serve the grilled chicken over spaghetti or baked ziti for a hearty twist.
