Oven-Fried Chicken Parmesan with Romaine Salad & Basic Polenta

Wow!  I have totally been slacking on my dinners and the posts.. & my scale is showing it!  Ugh!  


Ingredients:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 
**I used almond flour- Palio Friendly!!
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
3/4 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Cooking spray
1/2 cup jarred tomato-basil pasta sauce
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese



  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
  2. Combine first 3 ingredients in a shallow dish; place egg whites in a bowl.  Place panko in a shallow dish.  Dredge 1 breast half in flour mixture.  Dip in egg whites; dredge in panko.  Repeat procedure with remaining chicken, flour mixture, egg whites & pank.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.  Add chicken to pan.  Cook 2 min.  Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil.  Turn chicken over; cook 2 minutes.  Coat chicken with cooking spray; place pan in oven.  Bake at 450 for 5 minutes.  Turn chicken over; top each breast half with 2 tablespoons sauce, 2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano & 3 tablespoons mozzarella.  Bake 6 minutes or until chicken is done.

For the Romaine Salad:  Whisk together 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons honey (**I used agave nectar), 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt & 1/8 teaspoon black pepper..  Drizzle over 6 cups torn romaine lettuce; toss well.
For the Basic Polenta:  Bring 2 cups fat-free, less sodium chicken broth & 1 cup milk to a boil in a medium saucepan.  Gradually whisk in 3/4 cup instant dry polenta..  Cook 5 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly
**In a rush...  They make pre-made polenta..  It looks like a sausage roll in the pasta section..  You just add water and heat up..
