Yay for a great time with great friends on my 26th birthday!!
Grilled Chicken Parmesan (Biggest Loser Recipe)
I served this dish with organic Fusilli and a side of broccolini. Made by Jen!
Makes 4 servings
4 (4-ounce) trimmed boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Olive oil in a sprayer (not store-bought spray that contains propellant) (I just used a teaspoon or so of olive oil per piece of chicken)
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup low-fat, low-sodium, low-sugar marinara sauce, or more to taste
6 tablespoons finely shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
2 teaspoons grated reduced-fat Parmesan cheesePreheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
The mess that is my kitchen when I have too many things going at once!
Lightly Mist both sides of the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken, turning once, for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until it is no longer pink inside and juices run clear. Transfer to a baking dish.
Heat the sauce on low in the microwave until warm. Top each breast with 2 tablespoons marinara sauce, followed by 1 1/2 tablespoons mozzarella, and 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan. Bake the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes, or just until the cheese is melted.

Taaaa-daaa!! All done and delicious!!! The chicken tasted great and I was full after one helping!! Will definitely be making this one again.
This was my first pretty much completely healthy dish I have made since my new eating lifestyle!! The Biggest Loser Cookbook is the best because it takes good, normal dishes and gives them a healthy makeover! And it was super easy because as you can tell by my messy kitchen I’m not very domestic!

True Story! I wish coffee did the same thing.
Totally wish coffee did the same things!! So I find out that after 26 years of sustaining the same not very good for me diet without any major weight gain or health problems the 2 bowls of ice cream I would consumer every night after dinner as kid, the millions of cookies I eaten, the endless amount of coffee bean ice blended mochas I drank throughout college, and the relative lack of veggies and fruit has finally caught up with me. So, now the only thing left to do so I no longer live in uncomfortable pain everyday is to do a diet makeover. Step #1 cut back on coffee….WHAT?? and manage to get through my day?!?!?! It’s gunna be a long road folks, a long road!!!!!
