Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Chicken can be an easy, quick, and versatile dish to prepare. The process can be further simplified with products such as Perdue Perfect Portions boneless, skinless, all natural chicken breasts. If you're in the Pittsburgh area, you can find these at Wal-Mart. This recipe is for two portions. Please note that to keep this recipe truly low carb that you must use "real" mayonnaise, not "light" or "fat free" varieties. I also recommend that you purchase freshly grated Parmesan or a block that you can grate yourself -- not only does it taste better than the canned variety (which is actually a "topping") but it's usually not loaded with the same sorts of unhealthy additives.

Preheat oven to 425.

Place two Perdue Perfect Portions chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish that has been sprayed with Pam (I use butter flavored to give it some extra goodness).

Mix the following together until well-blended:
1/2 cup Hellmann's Mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 capful of Mrs. Dash, Tomato, Basil, Garlic flavor

Spread the mixture evenly over the two breasts.

Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, until the topping is brown and crusty.

Serve with a tossed salad, spinach, broccoli, etc. for a low carb feast.

Less than one gram net carbs per piece.
