Make Low Fat Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan is a common Italian dish. If you're watching calories, you can substitute a few ingredients to turn this dish into a more healthy, low-fat dish than traditional Chicken Parmesan recipes.


Instructions


1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat a baking dish or baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.


2. Place egg substitute in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano and basil.


3. Dip the chicken breasts in the egg substitute and then dredge through the breadcrumb mixture until the chicken in thoroughly coated on all sides. Add more egg substitute and breadcrumbs to your bowls, if necessary.


4. Place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken breasts over and lightly spray the tops with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for another 10 to 12 minutes or until the chicken is lightly browned and no longer pink in the middle.


5. Top each chicken breast with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake for another five minutes or until the cheese has melted.
