Skinny Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients

• Cooking spray or oil mister
• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (8 ounces each), fat trimmed
• 3⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1⁄2 cup seasoned whole wheat bread crumbs, homemade (see page 110) or store-bought
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons melted unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups Quickest Marinara Sauce (page 94) or store-bought marinara sauce
• 9 tablespoons part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with oil.

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 6 cutlets. Season both sides with salt.

In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan. In a small bowl, combine the butter and olive oil. Brush the butter and oil on both sides of the chicken, dredge the chicken in the bread crumb mixture, and put the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray oil on top of the chicken.

烘烤直到底部金黄色，约20分钟。将鸡肉翻过来烘烤，直到中心煮熟，底部为金色，5至6分钟。

Meanwhile, in a large, deep covered skillet, cook the marinara sauce over medium heat until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Place the baked chicken in the skillet and top each piece with 11⁄2 tablespoons of themozzarella. Cover the pan and cook until the cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve hot.
