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!!
This is what it looks like prior to baking
If you are not eating this the day you cook it…then here is what you do…….. Once you sprinkle on your cheese; cover and place in the fridge for up to 5 days. The day that you want to serve it. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees; cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes then remove the foil and cook for additional 15 minutes.
**tip** spray your foil with non stick spray prior to placing it over the container so you don’t lose any of that yummy cheese!!
