Receta Chicken Parmesan with a twist – Low Calorie
To me cooking chicken breast didn’t make any sense, it was always dry and tasteless, but not after I’ve found out the secret to preparing tender and flavorful chicken breast.
Chicken breast requires specific cooking time and way, and in this recipe, I’ll be sharing that with you so you get a tender, and juicy chicken breast each and every time.
Chef Mario Batali’s Favorite Parm Chicken inspired today’s recipe. Looking at the ingredients he used I immediately decided on the twist I’ll be adding to his recipe.
The ingredients and method Chef Mario used, made me realize that he wanted to:
1- Keep the chicken breast tender.
2- The topping should have a light texture and delicious flavor that does not interfere with the flavor of the chicken.
What I did was, keep the chicken tender, and enhance the flavor and the texture of the topping. Chef Mario has already cut few calories by baking the chicken instead of frying it.
