CHICKEN PARMESAN - LOW FAT

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

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.

Time 28m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast
1 egg
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
1 ½ ounces pork rinds, crushed
1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ cup jarred tomato sauce (such as Rao's®)
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)

Steps:

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Slice chicken breast through the middle horizontally from one side to within 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Pound chicken flat until about 1/2-inch thick.
Beat egg and cream together in a bowl.
Combine crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning in bowl; transfer breading to a plate.
Dip chicken into egg mixture; coat completely. Press chicken into breading; thickly coat both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; add ghee. Place chicken in the pan; cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Be careful to keep breading in place.
Transfer chicken to a baking sheet. Cover with tomato sauce; top with mozzarella cheese.
Broil until cheese is bubbling and barely browned, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

To ensure even cooking, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts of uniform thickness. If your chicken breasts vary in size, pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
For a crispy crust, coat the chicken breasts in a mixture of grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and Italian seasoning. You can also add a teaspoon of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
To keep the chicken moist, bake it in a covered baking dish. This will help to create a humid environment that will prevent the chicken from drying out.
Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before serving. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Fat-free Parmesan chicken is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy chicken. It is a simple recipe that can be made with just a few ingredients. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a crispy Parmesan crust. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
