Weight Watchers Parmesan Crusted Chicken Schnitzels

This delectable low-calorie chicken dish is packed with flavour but not calories and is perfect for anyone following the 5:2 diet as well as weight watchers. It's a favourite meal for me and my husband when we are on a diet, when i serve it with lots of steamed greens and a grilled tomato. For a gluten free version use crushed cornflakes in place of the breadcrumbs. Nb: please note these don't have any oil brushed on them as they are for a very low-calorie diet! If you are not worried about the extra calories, please brush the chicken fillets with a little oil before baking, or pan-fry them in a little oil or butter.

Steps

Beat the chicken breasts with a mallet until they are flat.

This is best done between cling-film.

Mix the rest of the ingredients together and then put them into a large bowl.

Dip the chicken schnitzels in the seasoned crumbs and then place the onto a non-stock baking tray.

Bake at 200c / 400f / gas 6 for between 20 and 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the crumb coating is crisp and golden.

Serve immediately with a lemon wedge , some grilled tomatoes and seasonal greens.
