Add chicken, Parmesan, 1/2 cup marinara, salt, and peppers to onion mixture. Mix well with hands. Shape into 8 (1/2-inch-thick) patties. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
2. Preheat broiler to high.
3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties to pan; cook 10 minutes or until done, turning once.
