Healthy Chicken Parmesan
Below is my wife's recipe for a healthy chicken parmesan dinner. And ladies and gents, it's as close to total greatness as you can get. Enjoy!
Chicken Parmesan
You will need:
2 lbs. Chicken breasts
1 cup bread crumbs
½ c. Parmesan cheese (you can hold off on this if wanting to conserve calories, etc.)
¼ c. parsley
1/8 t. salt
1/8 t. garlic powder
Jar of Healthy Choice spaghetti sauce OR for healthier version, make the homemade sauce recipe listed on the back of cans of diced tomatoes or tomato paste.
Mozzarella cheese (fat free or low fat)
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Beat the chicken until ½ inch thick or so. Set aside.
Mix in a bowl bread crumbs, parsley, salt, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese (if you are using the parm. cheese).
Put the chicken in the mixture coating both sides of the chicken. Place it on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or so.
When the chicken is completely cooked, use a spoon to completely cover each chicken with sauce. Top with a little bit of mozzarella cheese. Place back into the oven and cook until cheese melts, about 5 minutes or so.
Serve with low carb spaghetti or wheat pasta, or if wanting to hold off on carbs you can serve it with steamed broccoli.

Have you ever added up the macros? Any idea how many cals, pro, fat and carbs would be in an average serving?

I do something very similar. Instead of noodles lately I've been eating bamboo shoots with sauce on them. Tastes very similar to noodles if you use your imagination with sauces and side veggies. Here are the nutrtional facts for bamboo:

Good call Magico. My wife and I have tried the whole wheat Cornflake approach, and it was decent. However, leftovers were not too pleasant.
