A Healthy Alternative to Chicken Parmesan

Eating healthy is also very important along with exercising.  I love food so it is hard for me to cut out some of my favorite meals.  Throughout my blog i will try to put up some posts of some favorites that are easily made in a healthier way so you can enjoy a yummy meal without feeling guilty. 

Chicken Parmesan:
Ingredients you will need:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup of fat free bread crumbs
1 egg white
1/2 cup of low fat shredded parmesan cheese
1 cup of a low fat marinara sauce of your choice

Preheat your oven to about 400 degrees,  place egg whites, parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs all in a bowl and mix them together, dip each chicken breast in the mixture and then add chicken breasts to a deep pan.  Pour marinara sauce over the chicken and then cook for about 20 minutes.  You may add additional parmesan cheese at the end if you wish.  Also, if you decide to add pasta, use whole wheat.  Enjoy!
