Recipes Tips:
If you want to make this recipe even healthier, you can bake the chicken instead of frying it. Just coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, until cooked through. You can also use low-fat cheese to reduce the fat content.
For a twist on this classic recipe, you can add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the marinara sauce, or use a combination of mozzarella and provolone cheese for a more complex flavor.
If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought marinara sauce instead of making your own. Just be sure to choose a high-quality brand that doesn’t contain any added sugars or preservatives.
