Chicken Parmesan Sheet Dinner Recipe

Does your family love Italian food? What about chicken parmesan? It’s definitely a favorite among many, but it can also be loaded with fat and calories due to the dish being fried in oil. If you want to cut some of the fat from the dish, you’ll love this recipe. Instead of being fried, the chicken is baked. This allows you to enjoy the traditional flavors of the dish without the unneeded calories. You still get the crunchy texture along with the cheese and delicious marinara sauce. Served over a bed of spaghetti, your family is sure to love this healthier version of the Italian classic.

What To Serve With Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian dinner. You can keep it simple by pairing it with a side salad and garlic bread. What I love best about this dinner is how simple it is to make. So don’t stress over making a fancy side dish. I purchase bagged Caesar salad and just toss it together. You can keep it in the refrigerator, while you’re busy during the day, and just add croutons when you get home. Dinner doesn’t get any easier than this!
