We are all familiar with the cheesy, yummy goodness that is chicken parmesan. As one of my favorite dishes, I set out to create a lighter, diet-friendly version of this Italian classic. 17 Day Diet Cycle 3 Compliant recipe.

Ingredients:

• 3 slices whole wheat bread 
• 4 teaspoons Italian spice blend
• 1/2 teaspoon salt & pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 1/2 cup flour
• 4 chicken breast
• Olive oil spray
• 3 1/2 cups marinara sauce
• 3/4 cup shredded low fat mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Directions:

Pound chicken until 1/2 inch thick.

Place flour into the first shallow baking dish.

Whisk egg whites and milk together in the second shallow dish.

Place bread into toaster and toast until golden brown. Remove from toaster and place in a food processor with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian spice blend. Pulse until crumbs are created and pour into the third shallow dish.

Line up ingredients on a counter and get ready to dip! Take the chicken, one breast at a time, and dip into flour first, egg wash second, and bread crumbs last.

Place dipped chicken breast into a large glass baking dish sprayed with olive oil. After all the chicken is in the dish, spray the top of the chicken with olive oil spray. Bake in a 400 degree oven for thirty minutes. Remove from the oven and top with cheese and return for 10 more minutes or until cheese is browned.

Remove from the oven and plate with a side salad for a full and healthy meal.
