Chicken parmesan is an Italian classic dish that many people love. But the traditional way to prepare it by frying you chicken in oil increases the calorie count by a lot. Try this version where you will still get a crispy breading, tasty chicken, sauce and cheese but we’ve cut down on the calories by baking the chicken instead of frying. The flavor difference will be negligible and you will be saving yourself some calories while still enjoying one of your favorites.
