Healthy Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan is a classic dinner dish.  Yes, I am still a vegetarian but I love putting healthy twists on recipes, and Eric was wanting something new.  So we decided to try out healthy chicken parmesan!  Wow, I must say it looks and smells amazing.  I am going to try this recipe with Eggplant next.

So this is pretty easy to make, healthy, and it is even breaded!

4 raw skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp oregano leaves

1 Tbsp cornmeal
1/4 cup coconut or almond flour
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup nonfat or low fat milk (or almond milk)
1 large egg white

3 Tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese

4. Dip each chicken breast into the milk mixture and then into the pine nut mixture until evenly coated.
