Well, I still had 4 of the grilled breasts left. And of course, I must make it healthy. Somewhere along the way tasty, quick, and easy need to enter the picture. Here's what I ended up doing...
It's kind of a take on Parmesan chicken, without the breading. It was simple, quick, tasty, and...healthy!! I added about a tablespoon of olive oil, about 2 cups of tomato sauce* (homemade that I had in the freezer) about 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, and about 1 tablespoon of fresh diced Basil; adding everything together in a non-stick pan. Laid the 4 chicken breasts in, covered them w/sauce and simmered covered for about 20 minutes. Then I added some nice thick slices of fresh mozzarella on top of each breast and sprinkled some Oregano on top of that. Simmered for a few more minutes until the cheese melted.
*Home made tomato sauce - if you're not making your own tomato sauce, you're throwing money away. I buy the the BIG (like half of a gallon) cans of crushed tomato at COSTCO for about 3 bucks instead of 5 bucks for one measly jar of preservative-laden tomato sauce at the store. Add your own spices, simmer, put in freezer bags, use later.
