Chicken Parmigana

Ingredients:
  • 4 (4 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4" thick
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
Makes 4 Servings
  1.  Preheat the oven  to 350 F. Coat a small oven-proof dish with cooking spray. Brush the chicken on both sides with the egg whites. Mix the breadcrumbs with the seasoning on a plate; dip the chicken in the breadcrumbs and turn to coat.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until lightly browned on both sides. Set aside.
  3. Add 1 cup tomato sauce to oven-proof dish. Place the chicken on top. Pour remaining sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until bubbling, about 15 minutes.
WW POINTS VALUE: 5 per serving

 Note: This recipe appears in the Weight Watchers Kick Start Guide. I had a lot of chicken in my freezer and I had a busy week ahead of me and I wanted to have some healthy chicken dinners for the week. This is a nice and filling dinner with a side of pasta and a glass of wine. Plus, you won't get hungry afterwords and this homemade dinner tastes just  as good as the chicken parm you order in an Italian restaurant.
