Baked Chicken Parmesan

You guys! Chicken parmesan is one of my very favorite chicken dishes. The breaded chicken, warm marinara and gooey cheese. Yes, please. This recipe is so much healthier than the traditional fried chicken breasts . I use pork rind crumbs, parmesan cheese and a little bit of salt, pepper and garlic powder to bread the chicken. Bake it off and add a generous portion of marinara sauce and low fat mozzarella cheese. Perfection. And you don't miss the calories. So, so good. My boys love this dish as well and clean their plate every time. Serve it with a salad and you have a yummy dinner.
