Grilled Chicken Parmesan

By dette

As a kid I was obsessed with chicken Parmsan-it didn't matter if we were going out for fast food or fine dining, I was ordering it. The turning poin im my wieght loss journey was when I heard that if just cut 100 calories from your diet per cay, on averagek you'll lose 10 pounds in a year. It sounded too good to be rue, but I tried it... and this was the first dish I tried ir with and therefore the dish that led to my career. At the time, my cooking skills were pretty basic, but now after years of substitiutions (and ovsessing over every ingredient), i can make dozens of simple, crave-busting dishes. Serve witha side of whole wheat pasta and/or a large green salad.
