skinny-parmesan-crusted-chicken-final

I always have chicken in my freezer but often get in a rut when it comes time to figure out what to do with it. There are only so many times I can do basic baked or grilled chicken. One of my favorite chicken dishes to prepare is this Skinny Parmesan Crusted Chicken.

I am sure you all have made a similar recipe using mayo instead of sour cream. I have an extreme aversion to mayonnaise so I make my chicken with either sour cream or yogurt. You get a chicken that is nice and moist without all the fat and calories in the  mayo version. The best part is that this recipe takes almost no time to prep and just a few minutes in the oven. This is another meal that you can have on the table in 30 minutes.

I prep my veggies and get them in the oven then start the rice. Once they are both going, I prep the chicken and toss it in the oven with the veggies. That way everything is done all at once. The added bonus is that my boys love this recipe…so there are no complaints from the picky bunch 😉
