Light Parmesan Chicken

Light Parmesan Chicken

Hello, I’m Pepper Ferguson from Pepper Scraps and Jenny invited me to come and share one of my recipes with you. I just started really cooking about a year and half ago when I started on the adventure of losing weight and eating healthier. Since then I have lost 80+ pounds!

Everything I cook is very simple and easy to make, because I’m a working mom with her own home business and 2 very energetic preschool boys.

Light Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients
  • 8 2 oz chicken tenderloins boneless and skinless
  • 1/4 cup italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup spaghetti sauce
  • 1/4 cup Mozzarella (optional not included in nutrition)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. In a shallow dish mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan and garlic powder.
  3. Reserve half of the mix (I find this helps your mix from clumping)
  4. Press each tenderloin in the mix
  5. Place chicken on a cooling rack placed on a cookie sheet
  6. When you use up the first half of the mix place the reserved half into your dish, you should use up all your mix on your chicken
  7. Bake until chicken is cooked through about 15-25 minutes
  8. Spoon 1 tablespoon of sauce on each chicken tender
  9. Optional: sprinkle Mozzarella on top of the sauce and put back in the oven till melted about 2-5 minutes
