And the lighter recipes continue.... :) I love chicken parmensan, and came across this lighter, baked version. I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised with this one. I didn't think anything could beat the fried goodness of my usual chicken parmesan, but this is pretty darn good. In fact, I might even like it better....... Did I just say that? Yes, lighter is better. At least in this case. Enjoy! :)
