Chicken Parmesan goes healthy with grilled, rather than breaded chicken, and fresh veggies. Whole wheat bread crumbs add crunch with fewer calories.
Ingredients
- 1 slice whole wheat bread
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1/4 c. packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1 clove garlic
- Pepper
- 1 lb. chicken-breast cutlets
- 1 lb. yellow squash
- 1 lb. ripe tomatoes
- 1 oz. Parmesan cheese
- basil leaves
Instructions
- Arrange oven rack 6 inches from broiler heat source. Preheat broiler. Line 18" by 12" jelly-roll pan with foil. Preheat large ridged grill pan or prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling on medium-high.
- Tear bread into large chunks. In food processor with knife blade attached, pulse bread into fine crumbs. In small bowl, combine bread crumbs with 1 teaspoon oil.
- To food processor, add parsley, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper, and remaining tablespoon oil. Pulse until very finely chopped.
- On large plate, rub half of parsley mixture all over chicken cutlets. Add chicken to hot grill pan or place on hot grill grate; cook 4 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook 3 to 4 minutes longer or until no longer pink in center.
- Meanwhile, arrange squash in single layer in prepared pan. Toss with remaining parsley mixture. Broil 7 to 9 minutes or until squash is tender and browned. Transfer squash to serving platter in single layer. Place chicken on top.
- In same pan, arrange tomato slices in single layer. Divide crumb mixture evenly among tomatoes. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper. Broil 30 seconds or until crumbs are golden brown.
- Arrange crumb-topped tomato slices on top of chicken. With vegetable peeler, shave paper-thin slices of Parmesan directly over tomatoes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
