Chicken Parmigian

  • I'm making it tonight, anyone have any good low calories recipies?

    I'm really excited, I've always wanted to try this
  • Baking (instead of frying like restaurants do) makes the biggest difference.

    When you're coating it, you don't really need to dip it in flour then egg then breadcrumbs -- you can probably just rinse it in cold water and then go right into the breadcrumbs, or use milk. But if you do use egg, just use whites, or use Eggbeaters or another substitute.

    Here's one recipe I've been meaning to try, it even has a "tomato cream" sauce with it (not really cream, just milk and flour!): http://www.recipezaar.com/204449
  • Here is the WW version and its 5 points per serving:

    chicken parmigiana
    1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly pounded (four
    4-oz pieces)
    2 large egg white(s), lightly beaten
    1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
    1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
    1 tsp olive oil
    1 1/2 cup canned tomato sauce
    1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
    1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
    1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat an 8-inch square pan with cooking
    spray.
    2. Dip chicken in egg whites, and turn to coat. Then mix bread
    crumbs with Italian seasoning and dip chicken in bread-crumb
    mixture; turn to coat thoroughly.
    3. Heat oil in a large skillet; add chicken. Cook until lightly browned
    and no longer pink in center, about 4 minutes per side; place on
    paper towels to drain.
    4. Pour 1/2 cup of sauce into prepared baking dish; place chicken in
    dish and pour remaining sauce evenly over chicken. Sprinkle with
    cheeses and bake until bubbly, about 25 minutes.
  • I cheat and I use parmesan crusted shake and bake I use with whole wheat pasta and low-sodium spaghetti sauce... You could always make your own tomato sauce though!
  • Thanks! I'm going to try that WW recipe next time I ended up just getting one from allrecipies.com about 430 calories a serving, not toooooo bad
