Preparation
Drizzle chicken with oil in a shallow dish and season with salt, pepper, granulated garlic and onion, fennel, red pepper and thyme. Marinade a few minutes and preheat a large griddle pan or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Preheat broiler.
Heat a skillet with a lid over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of olive oil, a turn of the pan. Add sliced garlic and stir a minute; add tomatoes and season with salt. Cover pan to trap heat and cook to soften 8-10 minutes, shaking pan occasionally. Add basil to sauce and stir to wilt.
Grill or griddle-cook chicken a few minutes on each side then transfer to baking sheets. Top chicken as if it were a small pizza with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Broil to brown and melt cheese then top with arugula or baby kale and Parm to serve.
