Recipe Notes

To make the best chicken parm, start by pounding the chicken thin. Lay the chicken breasts between two sheets of waxed paper. Pound with the flat side of a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/4-inch thickness.

Tender browned chicken and juicy tomatoes  – all topped with shredded Mozzarella cheese. We also love to toss in strips of fresh basil when this dish is almost finished baking.

Pomi chopped tomatoes are fresh and delicious chopped tomatoes from Italy that are reasonably priced.

You don’t need a lot of cheese to make this delicious skinny chicken parm. If you buy a block of Mozzarella cheese and then shred it yourself, it saves money and tastes much fresher than packaged shredded cheeses.
