(Slightly) Healthier Chicken Parm Cutlets 🍝
Last week I posted a similar dinner on my story and I actually got messages asking if it was takeout from a restaurant- it was not. Just a v comforting dish of chicken parm cutlets, Caesar salad, and rigatoni tossed in a tomato-cream sauce 🥰
This version is a *bit* healthier thanks to a few swaps:
- Chicken tossed in plain Greek yogurt instead of flour
- For the breading, I swapped out some of the breadcrumbs and replaced with nutritional yeast (still has breadcrumbs, just not quite as much!)
- @eatbanza high protein chickpea pasta
- @bolthousefarms low calorie Caesar dressing (instead of my usual fav- @kenssteakhouse Caesar 😋)
This recipe makes 2 servings- I love saving the second chicken cutlet & the other half of the pasta for lunch or din the next day!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 thin sliced chicken breast cutlets
- 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/4 marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup pasta
- 1 tbsp ricotta cheese
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- croutons
- low calorie Caesar dressing
- more Parm as needed 😋
