3 Ingredient Grilled Chicken Parmesan is super easy to make and is a recipe that your whole family will love!
Grilled Chicken Parmesan
For my husband's birthday, he requested chicken parmesan. As a dietitian, I am always trying to make meals healthier. It was actually my mom's idea to grill the chicken parmesan instead of breading it and frying it. This made the chicken parmesan healthier, lower in fat and calories. Try this 3 Ingredient Grilled Chicken Parmesan for an amazing meal! The grilled flavor really added to this meal.

It turned out excellent and my entire family enjoyed it. My dad's favorite meal is chicken parmesan and he was amazed how quick the recipe came together and how little he missed the breading.

Grilled Chicken Parmesan Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • Your favorite pasta sauce

How to Make Grilled Chicken Parmesan

This is the easiest way to make chicken parmesan! Just grill your chicken until the chicken is cooked through with grill marks on each side. Take the grilled chicken off of the grill and put it on a baking sheet. Top with pasta sauce and parmesan cheese. Broil for 4 minutes until the cheese is melted. Instead, you could add your chicken back to the grill to melt the cheese. If you do this, I recommend putting the chicken on aluminum foil so the cheese doesn't drip everywhere.

Is grilled chicken parmesan healthy?

Yes, in my opinion, grilled chicken parmesan is the healthiest way to make a chicken parmesan recipe. It is not breaded or fried so you are cutting tons of calories and fat from that. Chicken is loaded with protein and the sauce and cheese make it taste delicious.

What to serve with grilled chicken parmesan?

We served this chicken with a side of pasta and grilled summer squash and zucchini. Any grilled vegetables like grilled asparagus or green beans would be awesome! You could also pair it with a salad or swap the pasta with spaghetti squash. The meal was enjoyed by all! I plan to make this recipe very soon again this summer. It was delicious.
