Low-fat chicken Parmesan

2 boneless chicken breasts trimmed of any excess fat.

1/2 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1 can Hunt's No Sugar Added Spaghetti Sauce. This has 0 grams of fat and only 6 grams carbohydrates per 1/2 cup.

1 8-ounce bag of low fat shredded mozzarella cheese

Non-Stick Low Fat Cooking Spray

Sprinkle of salt for each chicken breast

8 ounces whole wheat spaghetti noodles.

If you are also watching your carbohydrates, as diabetics do, eliminate the pasta all together. A crispy salad, fresh steamed broccoli with lemon, or some steamed garlic green beans would fit nicely as a side dish.

First make sure the boneless chicken is completely thawed. Thawed meat tastes better. Spray both sides of each chicken with no fat cooking spray. Do not spray your entire pan. This way the spices stick to the chicken better. Mix your basil and oregano together and sprinkle on both sides of each chicken breast. Make sure to pat chicken breasts to help spices stay on chicken. This also helps with flavor. Put just a sprinkle of salt on one side of each chicken breast. Now it is ready for cooking.
Put chicken breasts in a medium sized cooking pan and cover. Heat at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Now, pull out pan, uncover and top with spaghetti sauce and a good handful of mozzarella cheese on each chicken breast. Cover and put back in oven for approximately 6 minutes.

Fill a medium saucepan halfway, add cooking spray and a pinch of salt. Heat to boiling. Add your 8 ounces spaghetti noodles. Drain when it has reached desired tenderness.

Take out Chicken Parmesan from oven. Put each piece on a dinner plate and add spaghetti on the side.

Your low fat Chicken Parmesan, for two,is now ready to be served. Enjoy!
