Lower Cholesterol Chicken Parmesan Recipes

CHICKEN PARMESAN - LOW FAT

Steps:

• Remove any clinging fat from the chicken and discard; wash and pat dry.
• Lay chicken between sheets of waxed paper- I save cereal box liners for this purpose; gently pound with the fleshy part of your fist (or a meat mallet) to flatten slightly.
• Rub all over with Italian dressing& let it sit while measuring out the remaining ingredients.
• Combine bread crumbs and seasonings on a piece of wax paper.
• Spray a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
• When hot, dredge dressing coated breasts through the bread crumb mixture and sauté until golden, about 5- 8 minutes per side.
• Spoon some spaghetti sauce on top of each breast, sprinkle with Parmesan& top with mozzarella; cover pan and continue to cook over medium heat until sauce is hot and cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.
