Recipe: Quick Chicken Parmigiana
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 10 min.
Cooking Time: 15 min.
 
Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast, about 8 ounces each
  • salt and white pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 3-1/2 oz. Provolone cheese, thinly sliced
Cooking Directions:
In a large, deep, nonstick sauté pan, add salted water to a depth of 0-1/2 inch and bring to a boil. Slip the chicken into the water and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the chicken is just firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Immediately remove the chicken from the water and pat it dry with paper towels. Season the chicken with salt and ground white pepper. Preheat the broiler. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the sauce and heat until just hot. Place the still-warm chicken on the baking sheet. Spoon the sauce evenly over the chicken and cover them with the cheese. Broil about 6-0/1 inches from the heat until the cheese is a little bubbly and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the oven and serve immediately. Nutritionist's note: Many jarred marinara sauces are very high in added sugars. Check the nutrition labels and buy one that contains no more than 5 grams of carbohydrates per 1/2 cup.
