Skinny Chicken Parm

One of my favorite’s from the Skinny Taste cookbook

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat or gluten free breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons parmesan
  • 2 teaspoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups marinara sauce (whichever brand you like)
  • about 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella or manchego cheese

Recipe

1) Preheat oven to 450 and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray

2) Cut 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half and lightly salt both sides

3) In a bowl mix 1/2 cup whole wheat (or gluten free) bread crumbs with 3 tablespoons Parmesan. In a separate bowl mix 2 teaspoons melted butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil

4) Brush each chicken breast with the oil mixture, and then coat with the bread crumbs

5) Spray chicken with a little oil, and bake for 20 minutes. Flip chicken and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

6) Heat 2 cups marinara sauce in a pan, place chicken in pan and top each chicken breast with mozzarella (or manchego) cheese. Cover with lid until cheese is melted

I served mine with cooked asparagus and some whole wheat penne!
