Healthy Chicken Parmesan BBQ Style




Ingredients
6 - Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Egg , beaten
1/4 cup Milk
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 1/2 Cup Flaxseed Meal
Barbecue Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese

Ok so many of you have asked for a healthier chicken parm recipe, so here it is. By using Flaxseed Meal you are giving yourselves good fat and taking out a bunch of carbs. By cooking it in the oven and using the broiler at the beginning you take out the frying aspect of normal Chicken Parmesan.

In a small bowl combine your egg, milk, pepper and garlic and beat well. Put your flaxseed meal in a larger seperate bowl.

Start by taking a fork (this will keep your fingers clean!) Take one piece of chicken and dredge it in your egg mixture. Then transfer to the second bowl and cover in flaxseed meal. Place in a 9 x 13 Glass Dish covered in aluminum foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Continue until you have finished all pieces. Then spray pieces with cooking spray.

Turn the oven to a High Broil and then place in the oven (middle/bottom), don't put it too close to the top or you WILL set off the WAY TO SENSITIVE fire alarm multiple times. So don't do that, ok?

Allow them to broil for 3-5 minutes then flip and broil again for 3-5 minutes.

Turn the oven to Bake at 350 and cook for 10-15 minutes more. Check your thickest piece to make sure that it is cooked through.

Remove them from the oven and place 1 Tbsp of BBQ sauce on top and top with Mozzarella Cheese.

Now just remember, flaxseed is NOT going to taste like breadcrumbs. It tastes good, it's just not bread so it's going to taste different. But we really liked it!

Have a great Saturday and God Bless!
