Ingredients:  

  • 4 (about 8 oz each) chicken breast, fat trimmed, sliced in half to make 8
  • 3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (skinny taste uses whole wheat)
    • food 4 your dude version used italian breadcrumbs (I already had in the pantry)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    • food 4 your dude loves boars head cheese and I grate myself
  • 1 cup marinara or Filetto di Pomodoro
    • food for your dude used Kroger Simple Truth Marinara
  • cooking spray

Directions: 

    Preheat oven to 450°. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with spray.

    Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl. Melt the butter in another bowl. Lightly brush the butter onto the chicken, then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Place on baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken. 


    Lightly spray a little more oil on top and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Turnchicken over, bake another 5 minutes.  

    Remove from oven, spoon 1 tbsp sauce over each piece of chicken and top each with 1 1/2 tbsp of shredded mozzarella cheese. 

    Bake 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.

    For my side I made lemon asparagus which is in the skinny taste cookbook.

    Spray baking sheet lightly with oil.  Place asparagus on sheet and add some salt, ground pepper and fresh lemon juice.  You could also add some minced garlic!  Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
