New Chicken Parmesan

This modern take on a classic Italian-American favourite offers all the comforting flavours of a traditional bake with a lighter, diabetes-friendly profile. By roasting the chicken with a savoury Parmesan crust alongside juicy grape tomatoes, you create a vibrant meal that packs a punch of Mediterranean flavour without the need for heavy breading or sugary shop-bought sauces.

Ideal for a quick mid-week dinner, this high-protein dish uses fresh mozzarella and extra-virgin olive oil for a satisfying, heart-healthy fats profile. The roasted tomatoes burst in the oven to create a natural, aromatic sauce that complements the garlic-infused chicken perfectly. Serve it with a crisp green salad or steamed seasonal greens for a complete and nutritious evening meal.

How to make New Chicken Parmesan
