Skinny Chicken Parmesan is the way to go for a figure friendly & family friendly meal. Serve this with salad or veggies for a complete meal. By using a mixture of panko & breadcrumbs you will get a crunchy coating when baking...so, no frying is needed. This meal is a great "prep-ahead" meal that can be warmed later in the week. I used homemade marinara sauce. ENJOY!!
