Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

hot red pepper flakes, to taste

1/4 cup chopped basil

8 oz mozzarella, shredded

4 oz Parmesan, grated

1 (5-oz) package garlic croutons


Procedures:

1. Pound the chicken flat so it cooks evenly
2. Coat casserole pan with olive oil and pepper flakes. add the crushed garlic
3. Layer the chicken on the bottom
4. Place marinara sauce on top to cover the chicken
5. Place some mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top to cover. Use more mozzarella.

Bake for 45-60 minutes on 335.

My Notes: Baked it for 350 for 35 minutes and it didn't seem fully cooked.

from http://www.recipezaar.com/Ww-5-Points-El-Pollo-Loco-Flame-Broiled-Chicken-123300

Cooked this earlier. I am still surprised at how good it came out. The citrus marinade really gives it a nice flavor. Liked it so much that I'll cook it again tomorrow.

Ingredients

MARINADE

Directions

  1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Add the chicken to the marinade, cover, and refridgerate for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat grill to med/high heat. Cook the chicken on the grill, leaving the cover of the grill open. When the chicken has cooked for about 25 min, marinade the chicken once again for about 5 minute Place the chicken back on the grill and continue to cook for another 20-25 min or until done.
  4. Before serving the chicken, remove the skin, and serve with steamed flour or corn tortillas (low fat or fat-free) and with salsa.
