We love easy dinners in our house, and this baked chicken parmesan has become a summertime favorite around here! Panko, parmesan, and egg whites make for a lighter, healthier twist on an old favorite. Add in a few zucchinis, cherry tomatoes, and a yellow squash, and you’ve got a complete meal packed with veggies for the whole family! This could be served with some couscous and a green salad on the side if you’re looking for a heartier meal, but the chicken and veggies make for a nice light dinner during those dog days of summer.
