1/15/2013 Skinny Chicken ParmesanWho loves chicken parmesan? I DO, but what I don't love is when this Italian dish is coated in flour, breadcrumbs, and oil. So with a few simple adjustments, we can ALL eat chicken parmesan as much as we want! Yippee! All you'll need are a few simple ingredients, and paired with my Arugula Pesto Salad, you've got yourself quite a meal! Ingredients 4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 cloves chopped garlic 1/2 Cup marinara sauce (I use Rao's) 1/2 lemon, zest and juice 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Fresh basil - for garnish Freshly shaved parmesan cheese Salt & pepper to taste Serves 4. 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 2. Place chicken breasts in a dish and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add lemon zest and juice from half a lemon, chopped garlic, and salt and pepper. 3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and pour any remaining lemon juice / garlic from the dish over the chicken. 4. Sear chicken breasts for about 4 minutes on each side. Then pour marinara sauce over chicken breasts and sprinkle freshly shaved parmesan cheese on top. 5. Place skillet directly in the oven to allow the chicken to finish cooking and the cheese to melt. Depending on the size of the chicken breasts, should be about 15 minutes. Make sure to check the middle of the chicken breasts and confirm they're fully cooked through. 6. Remove from oven with an oven mit and make sure to slip the oven mit on the handle of the skillet once it's out of the oven - can't tell you how many times I've accidentally grabbed it! Ouch! 7. Garnish with fresh basil and serve. Enjoy! You know I LOVE your feedback, so fill me in and let me know how these kitchen creations go for you!

350 degrees should be good! You just want to put it in the oven for a minute or two until the cheese is melted.
