Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stuffing; bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach are all great choices. Season the stuffing well with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
- To ensure that the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, pound them to an even thickness before stuffing them. This will also help the stuffing to stay inside the chicken breasts while they are cooking.
- Use a good quality marinara sauce for the best flavor. You can either make your own or use a store-bought brand that you like.
- To get the chicken breasts nice and crispy, cook them in a pan over medium-high heat until they are golden brown on both sides. Then, transfer them to a baking dish and bake them in the oven until they are cooked through.
- Serve the chicken breasts with a side of pasta or roasted vegetables. You can also top them with additional marinara sauce, grated Parmesan cheese, or fresh basil.
Conclusion:
Skinny stuffed chicken parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and protein, and it is also a good source of fiber. Plus, it is a meal that the whole family will enjoy.
