Low Fat Version
Make the sauce. Skip the whole breading and frying step. Place raw chicken in a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle chicken with grated mozzarella cheese top with sauce and bake at 350 for 40 -45 minutes.
Can top with a little parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy.
This lowfat version makes a great freezer meal just prepare instead of baking cover and freeze. Thaw in refrigerator overnight and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
Hi Anissa. I found your blog through my nieces (Jackie Walker) blog. I made the chicken parmesan and it got 2 thumbs up at our house. That means it is a keeper. I am so excited to try some of your other recipes. Thanks for doing this blog. I love it. I even have it on mine for quick access...under YUMMY RECIPES. Thanks again. :)
