Dish: Chicken Parmesan
Ingredients:
97% fat free chicken breasts
Low-fat, Low-sodium Marinara Sauce (we use Paul Newman’s)
Low-fat mozzarella cheese
Parmesan Cheese

Directions:
-Take the amount of chicken breasts desired and broil them on a high heat in the oven for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove chicken breasts from the oven.

-Heat 1/2 cup of marinara sauce in a microwaveable dish on a low heat until it is warmed through (or hot if you want). You want to do this while you’re cooking the chicken.

-Set the oven to Bake at 400 degrees. It doesn’t take long to get there after the oven has been broiling.

-Transfer the chicken to an oven safe baking dish

-Put 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on each chicken breast

-Put 1/4 cup of low-fat mozzarella cheese on each chicken breast

-Put 1 teaspoon of Parmesan cheese on each chicken breast

-Place the uncovered baking dish back in the oven for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese has melted on top.

The Biggest Loser Cookbook rates this dish at 169 calories. Usually, we eat this with a half cup of whole wheat spaghetti noodles (really thin). We add to it by sauteing broccoli or green beans in a little olive oil and Cavender’s Greek Seasoning. Also, we’ve been experimenting with healthy bread options. We place a whole wheat tortilla or whole wheat pita in the oven in some aluminum foil. Then we use a small plate to mix a table spoon of olive oil and some black pepper like you might have had at Macaroni Grill. We dip our pitas or tortillas in it.

This has been a filling and tasty meal unlike some others. Hope this may be a good option for you.
