Chicken Parmesan
I was in the mood for Chicken Parmesan and decided to try and lighten it up. I came up with a 9 point dish and felt like I wasn’t missing a thing. I did not bread the chicken and instead cooked it in the sauce.
Right before serving I took the chicken out of the pan and added some mozzarella cheese and put it under the broiler to melt it. From start to finish this dish took about 30 minutes.
