Chicken Parmesan

Adapted from The Skinny Taste

Chicken Parmesan is an Italian-American classic, and it’s definitely one of my favorites. This recipe has to be one of the simplest ones around - as well as the tastiest! It would be great served over pasta or with a side of steamed veggies.

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken tenderloins
• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tsp butter, melted
• 1/3 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup marinara
• cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450°. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a bowl. Melt butter in another bowl. Brush or pat the butter onto the chicken, then dip each tenderloin into breadcrumb mixture. Place on baking sheet.

Lightly spray chicken with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn chicken over, bake another 5 minutes. Remove chicken once more, pour marinara evenly onto each tenderloin and sprinkle mozzarella over them. Bake 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
