Chicken Parmesan is an Italian favorite. A generous helping of buttery noodles, topped with breaded chicken and melted cheese — what's not to love? Unfortunately, when made at a restaurant, this classic dish packs a caloric punch.
Luckily, by making the dish in your own kitchen you can still enjoy the delicious combination of sweet marinara sauce and gooey cheese — minus the extra fat and calories. Try whipping up my quick and easy chicken parmesan at home for a healthy dinner the whole family will love in under 20 minutes!
