M4-6pm- I made a yummy yummy dinner last night, the kids liked the chicken but tried to get out of eating the pasta.
Here's the recipe...
It's from the eating for life book by Bill Phillips:
Baked Chicken Parmesan
2 egg whites (I had to add more for 5 people)
1/3 C Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs (ok so I used WW homemade bread crumbs I make myself and keep on hand,I'll post the recipe for these when I'm finished here)
4 Tbs- reduced-fat parmesan cheese,grated,divided
2 portions spinach pasta
1 C low fat (I used low fat low sodium) pasta sauce
2 C baby spinach leaves
Preheat oven @ 400*
In a medium mixing bowl,beat egg whites with a fork until slightly frothy. Then,mix breadcrumbs and 2 tbs of cheese in a pie plate (I used a small desert plate and it worked fine)
Dip chicken breasts in egg whites and then inot the breadcrumb mixture,coating both sides.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place chicken breast on the baking sheet: bake approximately 12 Min. turn over and bake approximately 12 more min. until chicken is no longer pink in the center and coating is golden brown.
While the chicken is baking,prepare spinach pasta according to directions on package.
In a small saucepan warm pasta sauce over med. heat.
Devide spinach leaves between plates (the recipes call for 2 but again adjust to fit your family)
Layer portions of warm spinach pasta and bake chicken breasts over spinach leaves top with pasta sauce and remaining cheese.
**to make your own bread crumbs**
These are so so simple and don't take long to make.
Ok get some 100% ww or whole grain bread. Make sure it's 100% like stone ground wheat.
Just put some slices on a cookie sheet and toss in oven @ 350 or 400* and let bake until hard and crispy. Take out and break up in pieces and put in blender,food processor or food chopper until you have smooth crumbs no lumps at all. Put in a mixing bowl and add some Italian seasoning and mix. Just add however much you want. I add 2 to 3 tbs to mine. Store in an air tight container and keep in fridge.
M5-9pm- 1 container light yogurt,1 tbs anpb,water
