Parmesan Baked Chicken

If you’re a fan of the Pizza Chicken with Turkey Pepperoni, this recipe is right up your alley. Or if your weakness at an Italian restaurant is anything with “Chicken Parmesan” in the name, you’ll love how easy it is to make a healthier version on your own!

The yummy smells filled up the house when I made this the other night, it nearly distracted me from my Turbo Jam workout. (If you don’t know what that is, hello YouTube) After my wonderful news last week, I’m allowed to workout again! But caution: if your dinner smells too good and your working out at home- you’ll be tempted to say to yourself, “I think that’s good enough for today. Dinner Time!!”
