Herbed Chicken Parmesan
From: Ann Taylor Pittman, Cooking Light @ www.myrecipes.com
This lighter version of an Italian favorite loses some of the fat but none of the taste. We recommend rice-shaped orzo pasta with this saucy chicken entrée, but you can serve spaghetti or angel hair pasta if you like.
Ingredients
1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 pound chicken breast tenders
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups bottled fat-free tomato-basil pasta sauce (such as Muir Glen Organic)
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) shredded provolone cheese
Preparation
Preheat broiler.
Combine 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley, basil, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish.
Place egg white in a shallow dish.
Dip each chicken tender in egg white; dredge in the breadcrumb mixture.
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done.
Set aside.
Combine 1/8 teaspoon salt, pasta sauce, vinegar, and pepper in a microwave-safe bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap; vent.
Microwave sauce mixture at HIGH 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
Pour the sauce over chicken in pan.
Sprinkle evenly with the remaining Parmesan and provolone cheese.
Wrap handle of pan with foil, and broil 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.
**Loupy's Notes: This recipe was rated at 5+ stars and stated to be very quick and easy. It also lends itself to your families tastes. This is going on my table this week.(week of 9-25-11)
