  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In an extra large Ziplock bag, combine cheese, crumbs and all seasonings; shake well.
3. Place chicken breast cutlets into cheese mixture, seal bag, turn to coat all sides.
4. Arrange on a nonstick baking sheet.

Top with your favorite marinara sauce and  low fat, shredded mozzarella cheese for the last 5 minutes in the oven to turn it into Chicken Parmesan. ...Or serve over salad with a lot of delicious veggies, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Enjoy!
