Low Calorie Chicken Parmigiana Preparation

First, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray an 8-inch square pan with light cooking spray.

In a small, shallow bowl beat the egg white. In another shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs with salt and Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Place the chicken in egg white and coat each breast evenly. Then dredge the chicken in the bread crumb mixture.

Spritz a large skillet with light cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. When heated, put the chicken in the skillet and cook until lightly browned and no longer pink in center (approximately 4 minutes per side).

Place chicken in baking dish and cook 20 min. After 10 minutes cover breasts with mozzarella cheese and broil until the cheese begins to bubble a bit (approximately 5-10 minutes). Cook the pasta and drain. Heat the marinara sauce and pour over the pasta on the plate. Top with parmesan cheese and the chicken breast.

Garnish with some fresh basil or oregano leaves. Serve with a side of broccoli.

Not low calorie in any world I live in! 700 plus for one meal!!!

This looks really delicious but a regular meal is around 400-500 calories. 700 is a no-go zone for me!

What makes this low calorie? Just by looking at the ingredients this looks to be around 500+ calories per serving.

I put the broccoli into the boiling spaghetti water at the end and time it so it is all done at once. [I posted this recipe.]
