Chicken Parm....The Healthy Way

This recipe, believe it or not....Is actually good for you. Usually I think of this dish as super greasy, but this particular dish is baked instead of fried. And for all you Weight Watcher guru's out there, this recipe is only 5 POINTS! Can you even believe that? Yeah I know, exactly my reaction, too. But nonetheless, this dish is delish :)

Ingredients
4 (8 oz) chicken breast halves, sliced in half
3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter, melted
3/4 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese
1 cup marinara sauce
cooking spray

  1. Preheat oven to 450*. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with spray.
  2. Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Melt butter in another bowl. Lightly brush the butter onto the chicken, then dip into breadcrumb mixture. 
  3. Place on baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken.
  4. Lightly spray a little more cooking oil on top and bake for 20 minutes. Turn chicken over, and bake another 5 minutes. 
  5. Remove from oven, spoon sauce over chicken and top with shredded cheese. 
  6. Bake 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
  7. Eat up!!
