Chicken Parmigiana is one of the most popular pub or restaurant meals in Australia but often the meals served are far too big.
It's also oven baked, not fried, so it's wonderfully moist and healthier again, and has much less fat.
Remember, a good diet isn't necessarily one of total denial, but everything in moderation!
This recipe is low in saturated fats and sugar, and is a good source of protein.
