Clean Chicken Parmesan

Clean Chicken Parmesan (1 Red, 2 Green, .5 Blue)

We LOVE Chicken PARM, and this is a clean version of it, and super good!!!  We serve with a side salad



Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (I didnt have bread crumbs so I toasted 2 pieces of whole wheat toast and threw them in the blender when they cooled)
  • 2 tbsp fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp organic marinara sauce to top each piece of chicken
  • 2 tbsp shredded cheese to top each piece of chicken
  • Spaghetti Squash

Directions

Spaghetti Squash (I do this ahead of time)
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Slice squash widthwise into 1" rings. Run a knife around the interior or the rings to remove the seeds. Place rings on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 40 minutes.
  3. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then peel the skin away and separate the strands into long "noodles".
Chicken
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees f.
  2. Break open eggs into a shallow dish and scramble well.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, sea salt, black pepper
  4. Dip each side of chicken breast into the egg and then into bread crumb mixture.
  5. Place in a large baking dish.
  6. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, flip and cook 5 more minutes. Top with marinara sauce and shredded cheese and bake a few more minutes until cheese is melted.  
NOTE: For green container, we did 1 green for salad, and 1/2 green spaghetti squash, and 1/2 green sauce
