  • 10 min prep time

  • 280 calories per serve

Ingredients

Parmigiana

  • 150g lean chicken breast
  • 1g olive oil spray
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (20g)
  • 20g reduced fat ricotta
  • 40g baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon basil leaves (3g)
  • 60g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 15g Parmesan cheese, shaved
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (5g)

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

Cut chicken breast in half horizontally so you get two thin, flat pieces. Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 4 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through.
