If you are craving chicken parm and don’t want to break the bank and your waistline, then this recipe is for you! Not only is this a healthier version of chicken parm, it is also SO EASY! In no time you will have dinner for 6 people and you will not have to worry about disposing any frying oil. I love that after you bread the chicken, the only work you have to do is flipping it and topping the chicken with sauce and cheese. I also like that this recipe is a short cook time because the chicken pieces are thin. A fast healthy and flavorful recipe for your family and friends…enjoy!
