Chicken Parmesan - Low Fat

Recipe #98846 | 30 min | 10 min prep | add private note

A quick, easy & healthy version of one of my favourites; I usually serve it alongside Pasta Shells With Zucchini & Spinach but it marries well with any pasta! I use Dee514's Italian Blend Spice Mix rather than a store-bought mix.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Remove any clinging fat from the chicken and discard; wash and pat dry.
  2. 2
    Lay chicken between sheets of waxed paper- I save cereal box liners for this purpose; gently pound with the fleshy part of your fist (or a meat mallet) to flatten slightly.
  3. 3
    Rub all over with Italian dressing& let it sit while measuring out the remaining ingredients.
  4. 4
    Combine bread crumbs and seasonings on a piece of wax paper.
  5. 5
    Spray a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
  6. 6
    When hot, dredge dressing coated breasts through the bread crumb mixture and sauté until golden, about 5- 8 minutes per side.
  7. 7
    Spoon some spaghetti sauce on top of each breast, sprinkle with Parmesan& top with mozzarella; cover pan and continue to cook over medium heat until sauce is hot and cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.

This has such great flavor. I have tried several times to make this dish with other recipes and all lacked the flavor that this had...and its low fat to boot! Great Recipe! Thanks for sharing!

    Love this low fat version! It cuts the fat but not the flavor. I made using homemade spaghetti sauce and everyone enjoyed! I will make this again, and soon according to the family! Thanks for sharing Country Lady!

    This is an excellent lowfat, quick and delicious recipe! It is as good as any chicken parm I've had before and has become a family favorite. Thanks CountryLady!

    This was really yummy! We all enjoyed it--especially my husband. We were excited about having some leftovers too. I served it with buttered linguini and green beans. I called it pizza chicken for the kids and that seemed to go over well.
