The Best Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Recipes Healthy

Made this chicken recipes healthy  for the first time for my bf who has been craving chicken Parmesan. And it was a hit! I was so excited! I made a few slight changes. I seasoned the chicken with salt and garlic powder instead of salt and black pepper (hate black pepper). Also added a bit of garlic powder and cayenne to the sauce, along with sugar to get rid of the tinny taste of canned tomatoes. And for the topping, I bought an Italian mix that contained Parmesan, mozzarella, provolone, and Asiago (we love cheese! ) This is definitely going on the weekly dinner menu.
