Ingredients

- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Drizzle olive oil over the coated chicken.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
- Assemble the Croissants: Spread marinara sauce on the bottom half of each croissant. Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the sauce. Add shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken.
- Grill the Croissants: Close the croissants and place them back on the grill, pressing down gently. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the croissants are golden and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
