- 4 (4 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even 1/2-inch thickness
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise

(Must be logged into WW on a smartphone or tablet.) 8 PointsPlus (Old plan) To increase the crispy factor of this healthy baked chicken parmesan, I used Panko instead of the plain dry bread crumbs called for. And following the instructions to brush the chicken with reduced-calorie mayonnaise before coating with the crumbs kept the chicken incredibly moist and tender.
