I wanted to share them here!! I know I know I am too kind =D I highly recommend these healthy alternative to guilty pleasures. And no they dont pay me to write this haha but I wouldnt mind!! =p




PAN FRIED CHICKEN PARM
Ingredients:
Two 4-oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast cutlets
1/2 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original)
1 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning, or more to taste
1/2 tsp. garlic powder, divided, or more to taste
1/2 tsp. onion powder, divided, or more to taste
1/8 tsp. salt, or more to taste
1/4 cup canned tomato sauce with Italian seasonings
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
Optional: black pepper


Directions:Place chicken in a large sealable plastic bag and, removing as much air as possible, seal the bag. Carefully pound chicken through the bag with a meat mallet or a heavy can, until it is uniformly about 1/2-inch thick.

Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. In a medium bowl, combine "breadcrumbs" with Italian seasoning, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1/4 tsp. onion powder, and salt. Feel free to season your breadcrumbs with as much pepper, additional salt, and additional spices as you like. Mix well.

In a small bowl, mix tomato sauce with remaining 1/4 tsp. garlic powder and 1/4 tsp. onion powder. Set aside.

Place egg substitute in a separate medium bowl. Coat raw chicken very well on both sides with the egg substitute. Then place chicken in the crumb mixture, and coat thoroughly on both sides.

Spray a large skillet with nonstick spray, and bring to medium-high heat. Place chicken in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through.

Once chicken is fully cooked, spread 2 tbsp. sauce over each cutlet, while chicken is still in the skillet. Evenly sprinkle cheese over the sauce-covered cutlets.

Reduce heat to low and cover skillet. Continue to cook for 2 - 3 minutes, until cheese has melted.
