Chicken Parmesan - Low Fat

A quick, easy & healthy version of one of my favourites; I usually serve it alongside Pasta Shells With Zucchini & Spinach but it marries well with any pasta! I use Dee514's Italian Blend Spice Mix rather than a store-bought mix.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2  tablespoons  low-fat Italian salad dressing
• 1⁄2 cup  breadcrumbs
• 1  teaspoon  italian seasoning mix
• 1  cup  thick  spaghetti sauce or 1  cup tomato sauce
• 1⁄4 cup  grated parmesan cheese
• 1⁄2 cup  grated low fat mozzarella

Directions

1. Remove any clinging fat from the chicken and discard; wash and pat dry.
2. Lay chicken between sheets of waxed paper- I save cereal box liners for this purpose; gently pound with the fleshy part of your fist (or a meat mallet) to flatten slightly.
3. Rub all over with Italian dressing& let it sit while measuring out the remaining ingredients.
4. Combine bread crumbs and seasonings on a piece of wax paper.
5. Spray a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
6. When hot, dredge dressing coated breasts through the bread crumb mixture and sauté until golden, about 5- 8 minutes per side.
7. Spoon some spaghetti sauce on top of each breast, sprinkle with Parmesan& top with mozzarella; cover pan and continue to cook over medium heat until sauce is hot and cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.
