Weight Watchers Parmesan Crusted Chicken Schnitzels image

This delectable low-calorie chicken dish is packed with flavour but not calories and is perfect for anyone following the 5:2 Diet as well as Weight Watchers. It's a favourite meal for me and my husband when we are on a diet, when I serve it with lots of steamed greens and a grilled tomato. For a gluten free version use crushed cornflakes in place of the breadcrumbs. NB: Please note these don't have any oil brushed on them as they are for a very low-calorie diet! If you are NOT worried about the extra calories, please brush the chicken fillets with a little oil before baking, or pan-fry them in a little oil or butter.

These schnitzels were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

I'm not a huge fan of parmesan cheese, but I still enjoyed these schnitzels. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the crust was crispy.

I thought the schnitzels were a bit dry. I think I would try using a different cooking method next time.

I would love to try using different herbs and spices in the breading next time. I think that would add a lot of flavor to the schnitzels.

These schnitzels were a hit with my family! The parmesan crust was crispy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy and tender. Even my picky eater loved them, and I ended up getting requests for this recipe from all my siblings.
