Chicken Parmesan
This recipe, with its vibrant colors, is a cheerful,
easy meal! If you like, make your own tomato sauce or
add your own spices to a prepared sauce. If you need to
watch the sodium in your meal plan, choose a low-sodium
brand of prepared sauce, but add 1 tbsp of oregano or
Italian seasonings to spice it up. You can also replace
the chicken in this dish with veal or turkey breast.
