WEIGHT WATCHERS PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN SCHNITZELS



Weight Watchers Parmesan Crusted Chicken Schnitzels image

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.

Provided by รก-1968

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In resealable plastic bag, combine cheese, crumbs and all seasonings; shake well.

Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. 4 points per serving.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a food processor to quickly bread the chicken breasts.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a rolling pin to flatten the chicken breasts.
  • Make sure the chicken breasts are evenly coated in bread crumbs before cooking. This will help them to brown evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken schnitzels. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken schnitzels until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will ensure that they are safe to eat.
  • Serve the chicken schnitzels with your favorite dipping sauce.
  • For a healthier version, you can use whole wheat bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.
