Directions

Mealthy Tip

Use gluten-free bread crumbs when dipping the chicken into the bread crumb-Parmesan cheese mixture to make this a gluten-free meal.

If you want to skip the pasta, serve this alongside a hearty green salad or roasted zucchini.

Looking for a vegetarian version? Use slices of eggplant or zucchini instead of chicken!

Eddie Luciano says:

Very easy, straightforward recipe. Thinking of a substitute to butter I can use just to cut calories. Otherwise, this was a great recipe. Also, I used chicken breasts instead of thighs and pounded them with so they were about 1-1/2" in width.

Jamie Bell says:

First time making this recipe, and it was good. It's a healthier version of chicken parm, better than what I normally would make, which usually involves lots of grease and cheese. I served it over a bed of pasta with lots of tomato sauce. Perfect for a weeknight.
