Chicken Milanese Style

Ingredients:
  • 4 (3 oz.) chicken breast cutlets
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup Italian-seasoned dried bread crumbs
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesean cheese
  • 1 1/2 tsp olive oil
  • 3 cups mixed baby salad greens
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes or havled cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup matchstick-cut carrots
  • 3 reduced-fat balsamic dressing
Makes 4 Servings
  1. Sprinkle the chicken with the pepper. Combine the bread crumbs and Parmesean on a sheet of wax pepper; coat the chicken with the crumb mixture, pressing lightly so it adheres.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side.
  3. Meanwhile, combine the salad greens, tomatoes, and carrots in a medium bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Place 1 chicken cutlet on each of the 4 plates and top evenly with the salad.
WW POINTS VALUE: 4 pts . (1 chicken cutlet and 1 cup salad)

Note: This recipe appears in the WW in 20 Minutes Cookbook. I was hungry for dinner and wanted some comfort food and this dinner hit the spot. This is a delicious dinner that can be made on the weekmight after a long day. This chicken is very easy to make and has a nice flavor with few ingredients to it as does the salad. The salad is very colorful plus you are getting all your nutrients. Make sure you pound your chicken into thin cutlets so they all cook evenly and nobody gets any uncooked chicken.
