Healthy Baked Chicken Parmesan

In my old age I like to keep things on the low carb side so I skipped the pasta. Instead, I enjoyed my baked chicken parmesan with steamed broccoli and a salad. Honestly, I didn’t even miss the pasta. This chicken parmesan is simple to make and delicious. You won’t miss it being fried and honestly I bet you will like it better. You can enjoy the italian loved classics without all the guilt.
