1 pound fresh thin sliced skinless and boneless chicken breast (cutlets)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 clove garlic finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon parsley
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Dash of salt
3 small tomatoes sliced
8 ounces of Sorrentos Mozzarella Cheese*
A few toothpicks broken in half and soaked in water for 20 minutes (to keep them from burning)

Cooking Directions:

1. Mix the olive oil, onion powder, garlic, parsley, pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
2. One by one take the chicken, lay it out flat and brush each side with the mixture.
3. Put one slice of tomato followed by one slice of mozzarella cheese on one half of each piece of chicken.
4. Fold the other side of the chicken over the tomato and mozzarella so it completely covers the pile and secure with toothpicks.
5. Place chicken on grill and cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side. It will cook quickly!
6. Set the chicken aside and let it rest for 10 minutes.
