Weight Watchers Easy Healthy Baked Chicken Parmesan

 

This easy healthy baked chicken parmesan is a lightened-up version of the Italian American classic, topped with sliced tomatoes and basil rather than sauce and baked instead of fried. The whole family will love it.

 

ingredients

4 (4 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin

½ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons reduced fat mayonnaise

½ cup Panko breadcrumbs

1 large tomato, cut into 8 slices.

1 tablespoon olive oil

8 basil leaves

½ cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella or provolone cheese

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

 

Set the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Using nonstick cooking spray, coat a baking sheet.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then brush each side with the mayonnaise.

Fill a large zipper-close plastic bag halfway with crumbs. Gently shake to coat the chicken breasts uniformly with the crumbs, one at a time.

 

Position the chicken on the baking sheet that has been prepared.

Cover each piece of chicken with tomato slices and sprinkle with oil evenly.

Top each tomato slice with basil and then evenly sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

 

12 to 18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly and beginning to turn lightly golden.

 

Serve with Parmesan cheese.
