Healthy Chicken Parmesan!

I was worn out on lemon and lime juice marinades, single seasonings, and the calories of bbq sauce marinades are ridiculous. I came up with this and now it is the only way I will eat my chicken at home. The parmesan is crispy and adds a lot of flavor with little calories. The pizza sauce I buy only has 30 calories, 5 carbs, and 1 gram of sugar for 1/4 cup serving. It tastes guilty but is far from it! Serve with mixed steamed veggies topped with sea salt and parmesan. Delicious!

1)Preheat oven to 375°
2)Place chicken breasts on a baking rack.
3)Sprinkle garlic powder on chicken.
4)Drizzle 1/2 tsp olive oil on chicken and lather with silicone marinating brush.
5)Sprinkle garlic&herb Mrs. Dash on chicken.
6)Turn chicken over and repeat. This time generously sprinkle parmesan on top.
7)Bake for 11-12 minutes, flip over, generously sprinkle with parmesan and bake another 11-12 minutes.
8)Remove from oven and cut into strips.
9)Pour 1/4 cup pizza sauce into a ramekin for dipping.

  1. Try using shredded parmesan, you get more of hat crunch and use less. Cut out "mrs. dash" (too much sodium) and just use fresh herbs, like basil and oregano

    1. Lol. I literally just saw this comment! Shredded sounds good but it's higher in calories and mrs. Dash is Salt free...
