Skinny Chicken Parmesan

I was so excited to receive the Skinnytaste cookbook for Christmas, and this is the first recipe I've made from it.  I adapted it a bit from her recipe.  Check out the Skinnytaste blog if you've never come across it before.

Skinny Chicken Parmesan

Makes three servings

Ingredients:

Cooking spray or mist
3 thin-sliced chicken breasts (6 ounces each or less)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs, homemade or store-bought
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups marinara, homemade or low-sugar store bought
3 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with oil.
2. In a shallow bowl combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan.
3. In a small bowl, pour the olive oil.
4. Brush each piece of chicken with olive oil on both sides, dredge the chicken in the bread crumb mixture, and put the chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Lightly spray oil on top of the chicken.
6. Bake until golden on the bottom, about 20 minutes.  Turn the chicken over and bake until the center is cooked through and the bottom is golden, 5 to 6 minutes.
7. While the chicken is cooking, cook the marinara sauce over medium heat in a large skillet until heated through.
8. Place the baked chicken in the skillet and top each piece with mozzarella cheese.  Cover the pan and cook until the cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes

NOTE: If you're doing the 21 Day Fix, your portion is: 1 Red, 1/3 Yellow, 1/2 Blue, 1/2 Purple
