This is a lighter, fresher, deconstructed version of the beloved (but traditionally very heavy) classic. Instead of breading chicken breasts and pan-frying them, we season them with herbs and grill them. And in place of marinara sauce, we use grilled grape tomatoes. It’s all topped with shaved Parmesan cheese so that you get the flavor hits of the classic.
Ingredients
Cooking spray
5 spray(s)
Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast
1.5 pound(s)
Olive oil
1.5 Tbsp
Italian seasoning
1 tsp
Kosher salt
0.75 tsp
Black pepper
0.75 tsp
Grape tomatoes
2 cup(s)
Basil
2 Tbsp
Red-wine vinegar
2 tsp
Garlic
1 small clove(s)

Instructions
1
Off heat, coat grill rack or grill pan with nonstick spray. Preheat gas grill or grill pan to medium-high, or prepare medium-high fire in charcoal grill.
2
Brush chicken with 1 tbsp oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, 1⁄2 tsp salt, and 1⁄2 tsp black pepper. Thread tomatoes onto 3 (8- to 12-inch) skewers. Coat tomatoes with nonstick spray. Arrange chicken and tomatoes on grill. Grill tomatoes, turning occasionally, until skins are lightly charred and start to split, 5 to 6 minutes. Grill chicken until instant-read thermometer inserted into centers registers 165°F, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
3
Transfer tomatoes from skewers to medium bowl. Stir in basil, vinegar, garlic, and remaining 11⁄2 tsp oil, 1⁄4 tsp salt, and 1⁄4 tsp black pepper. Spoon tomatoes over chicken and sprinkle with cheese.
