Chicken Parmesan - Low Fat image

A quick, easy & healthy version of one of my favourites; I usually serve it alongside Recipe #56030 but it marries well with any pasta! I use Dee514's Recipe #38293 rather than a store-bought mix.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons low-fat Italian salad dressing
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon italian seasoning mix
1 cup thick spaghetti sauce or 1 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated low fat mozzarella

Steps:

  • Remove any clinging fat from the chicken and discard; wash and pat dry.
  • 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.
  • Rub all over with Italian dressing& let it sit while measuring out the remaining ingredients.
  • Combine bread crumbs and seasonings on a piece of wax paper.
  • Spray a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
  • When hot, dredge dressing coated breasts through the bread crumb mixture and sauté until golden, about 5- 8 minutes per side.
  • 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.
