Delicious as it may be, restaurant Chicken Parmesan is a high calorie, fat-filled meal. And since most plates of the stuff include a mountain of spaghetti, these dinners can easily have over a thousand calories. So why not try a lighter, homemade version? Its super satisifying and delicious. So the next time you go out for Italian food, skip the Parmesan and get your fill of the stuff at home with this recipie. (On a side note Ruby Tuesday's version has 1,654 calories...wow!)

| Making your own pasta sauce would be best but I cheated and bought organic sauce, I really like the Meijers and Target (Archer Farms) brand best. |
