Instructions

FOR THE CHICKEN

  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.

GRILLED TOMATOES

  1. 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.
  2. Grill the chicken in the same manner until no longer pink inside.
  3. 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!

Notes

  • Yes, but it will need to be cooked a bit differently than my pan fried chicken. Pan-sear in a skillet coated with olive oil over medium 5 to 7 minutes per side or until golden brown. Chicken may brown quickly so you may need to lower the heat. 
  • Yes! Marinate chicken in the herb mixture then place in an olive oil coated baking dish in a single layer. Oven bake at 350°F for 25-40 minutes, similar to my herb roasted chicken pieces. The time will depend on how thick your chicken pieces are, so adjust accordingly. 
  • Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, it’s great for meal prep! You can also freeze leftover chicken in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
