Light and Healthy: Grilled Chicken Parmesan

January 7, 2013

This grilled chicken parmesan is a healthy version of one of your favorite comfort foods.  Instead of a chicken breast being breaded and fried, they are seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled.  They are topped with a heart healthy tomato sauce and low-fat cheese.  This dish will decrease calories but won't sacrifice flavor.

16 oz Chicken Breasts, boneless & skinless
