Healthy Chicken Parmesan
What makes this easy chicken parmesan healthy?
- Flax seed eggs – Flax seed eggs are made from ground flax seeds that are mixed with water then strained. They are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. They can be refrigerated for up to a week. We love to use them in this parmesan because they’re a naturally egg-less option and get the same benefits. - Cheese – We love Parmesan cheese for chicken, but there are so many other delicious cheeses that can be used! Try making this parmesan with other hard cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella or feta. - Chicken – This chicken parmesan is made with boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead. - Tomato sauce – This parmesan is made with a light tomato sauce, so it does not have a lot of calories or fat.
Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian dish that is loved by many. This version is lightened up by using grilled chicken and whole wheat bread crumbs.
