We LOVE Chicken Parmesan in this family, but its not always the healthiest...like when the chicken is coated in bread and fried in oil...yeah, not so much! Since we have made a lifestyle change, not just doing some diet for a couple of weeks, I needed to find a way to make chicken parmesan for an everyday meal, and not just a treat meal every once in a while.
I went to a Pampered Chef party a couple of weeks ago. I haven't been to one in years and I L.O.V.E. their kitchen tools. They had a bunch of cool new things, one of them being a Veggie Strip maker...SOLD! I broke out this puppy and gave it a whirl to create ZoOdLes!! Every had them?!?! Yes, I can eat whole grain pasta, but I can have soooo many zoodles...and who doesn't need some extra greens too? We will be making this again. My only recommendation is to pat the zoodles dry to remove extra water before cooking. Zoodles Chicken Parmesan
