With this baked chicken Parmesan
recipe you get all the great taste of
regular chicken Parmesan, but with
a lot less calories.

Baked Chicken Parmesan

I have to admit I love anything that involves being made with cheese. Any cheese any way I can get it. Provolone, Havarti, Mozzarella, Brie, and the list goes on. I even got my husband to expand his cheese taste bud palate. Can’t say he’s a lover of all cheese like me, but it’s a start.

Mozzarella is one of the lowest calorie filled of cheeses you can choose. Luckily that was one of the cheeses that my husband actually enjoys. And I was shocked when I first learned he loves chicken Parmesan and always asks for extra cheese. This is the man who doesn’t want cheese on his burgers or in his burritos.

So I had to figure out how to make one of his favorite, but with a lot less calories. So instead of frying the chicken breast why not just bake it. Cutting out all that extra frying oil saves so many calories.

You want to preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a glass baking dish. I use two plates when making this. One for the bread crumb mixture and one for the egg whites.

Baked Chicken Parmesan

Take the Italian bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic powder and mix together on one of your plates. On the other plate add just the egg whites.

First you want to dip both sides of your chicken breast in egg whites and then the bread crumb mixture. Then repeat with the egg whites and bread crumb mixture again and then place in the pan. Do the same with the other chicken breast.

Cook in the oven 20-30 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken breast. I use thin cut chicken breast so it doesn’t take as long to cook. After that time remove the pan out of the oven and top each chicken breast with the spaghetti sauce and then mozzarella cheese.

Cook for another 5 minutes until the cheese is all melted and then serve. I skip on the spaghetti because for one thing my husband doesn’t like it and another I don’t need all those carbs. Sometimes I will use spaghetti squash instead of noodles and mix with spaghetti sauce.

Baked Chicken Parmesan

Now you can enjoy one of the classics without ruining your diet.

      Why does cheese have to be so good and still have calories? Lol. Thanks and it is so simple to make and you usually have all the ingredients already so you’re ready to go anytime. I appreciate the positive comment.

      I buy heb brand, but if you’re not in texas you can’t get it. But yes I now prefer to make my own. On my blog post for regular chicken parmesan I have a sauce recipe, which i now prefer.

    This recipe looks awesome!!! Since I don’t use grain flour, do you think almond or coconut flour would work well as a substitute? Thanks!

      I would say almond would probably work

    I think the size of chicken breasts has changed dramatically since Julia Child’s day, which could account for some of her shorter cook time.

    I’ve made a lot of similar recipes in my slow cooker. I wouldn’t be able to survive with out my slow cooker. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
