Low fat Chicken parm

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large chicken breasts trimmed off fat
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 jar of marinara sauce
  • 1 bag of shredded low fat mozzarella
  • fresh rosemary to taste
  • Parmesan cheese
  • fresh basil to taste
  • Italian seasoning to taste
  • garlic powder to taste
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • six slices of whole wheat bread

Instructions
 

  • Take your slices of whole wheat bread and place with tongs on rack of oven directly set at 250 degrees. Leave in oven until hard and golden brown, about 30 minutes; darker if you prefer. Remove and cool on wire rack. Crumble slices into a large bowl until reduced to fine crumbs, or place in bowl of food processor and process until fine. Add your seasonings, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
  • It’s your choice what seasoning you may like.
  • I then spread them out on a cookie sheet for easier prep and coating.
  • Next I take my casserole dish and lightly spray with Pam or cooking spray, I like the olive oil.
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom.
  • Take your trimmed chicken breasts and dip them first in egg whites, then in your home made bread crumbs, lightly on each side and be sure it is coated well.
  • Place single row in your casserole dish. Add sauce on top, sprinkle mozzarella, Parmesan, add fresh basil leaves,rosemary, salt,pepper and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Oven times and temps vary.
