WEIGHT WATCHERS PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN SCHNITZELS
This delectable low-calorie chicken dish is packed with flavour but not calories and is perfect for anyone following the 5:2 Diet as well as Weight Watchers. It's a favourite meal for me and my husband when we are on a diet, when I serve it with lots of steamed greens and a grilled tomato. For a gluten free version use crushed cornflakes in place of the breadcrumbs. NB: Please note these don't have any oil brushed on them as they are for a very low-calorie diet! If you are NOT worried about the extra calories, please brush the chicken fillets with a little oil before baking, or pan-fry them in a little oil or butter.

Steps:
- Combine first 5 ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 35 minutes. Stir in sugar and vinegar; simmer 5 minutes more.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Dredge chicken in breadcrumbs.
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 chicken breasts to pan; cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and chicken breasts.
- Arrange chicken in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pour tomato mixture evenly over chicken, and sprinkle with cheeses.
- Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.
Tips:
- To ensure your chicken breasts are evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing them from the oven.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked through by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
- For a crispier crust, use a mixture of grated Parmesan cheese and Panko breadcrumbs.
- If you don't have Panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken breasts for this recipe.
- To make this recipe even healthier, you can use low-fat or non-fat cheese and skim milk.
