Chicken Parmesan

I was looking through Pinterest the other day and found a recipe for Chicken Parmesan in the crockpot. The recipe didn't quite fit lean and green standards, so I decided to come up with my own. And let me tell you, the dish was delicious! I might have wanted to lick the plate at the end. I put about 1 1/2 servings of tomatoes on the chicken, so you are still left with 1 1/2 greens to add as a side. I just had a salad, but you could try adding cooked spaghetti squash to the crockpot for cooking under the chicken.

Ingredients:

Makes 2 servings

Two - 6 oz raw boneless skinless Chicken Breast
1 1/2 cups Diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp Reduced fat Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
8 tsp Parmesan Cheese (shredded) - I used Sargento Artisan Blend. 20 cal/2 tsp serving
1/2 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp Chili powder
1 tsp Ground Cumin

Directions:

1) Lightly puree tomatoes in blender and place in mixing bowl. Mix in all seasoning and all mozzarella cheese.

2) Grease crockpot lightly with Pam spray. Place 1/2 cup of tomato mixer on bottom and place chicken on top. Distribute another 1/2 cup evenly over chicken. This will leave 1/2 cup of the mixture left to finish the dish later - refrigerate until ready.

3) Cook in crockpot for 3-4 hours. Once finished, place in oven safe dish and top evenly with the remaining tomato mixture and all the parmesan cheese (4 tsp cheese on each chicken breast).

4) Broil for 6-8 minutes until cheese is melted.

There is your simple, delicious Chicken Parmesan dish! Serve with an addition 1 1/2 greens and you have your complete lean and green meal. Enjoy!
