This has got to be one of my favourite Weight Watchers chicken recipes! It is tasty, easy to make and can be served to your non Weight Watcher friends and family without them ever knowing you are feeding them a WW friendly dish! Result!

I've eaten this Chicken Parmesan quite a few times whilst following the Weight Watchers plan and I must say it really is one of my favourite dishes.

I toss the chicken in seasoned breadcrumbs then lightly pan fry it to seal it and to brown the breadcrumbs to a golden crispiness.

It would be possible to save Smart Points by browning the breaded chicken breasts in the oven instead of frying them.

However, I find by frying them in a little oil first, the chicken is sealed and therefore doesn't dry out when cooking later. You get a lovely succulent chicken this way!

The chicken breasts are then placed on a 'bed' of Marinara sauce (or pasta sauce or tomato sauce) and topped with cheese and baked.

What is Chicken Parmesan?

So, Chicken Parmesan is a dish that seems to have originated in the US and consists of breaded chicken breast covered in tomato sauce and topped with cheese (usually mozzarella, parmesan and provolone).

It & variations of it are also know as Chicken Parmigiana, chicken parm and in Australia as just parmy or parma!

It is sometimes served on top of pasta, or with a side salad. I tend to serve it with a side of spiralized zucchini / courgette.

What Breadcrumbs should I use?

I used 40g of fresh breadcrumbs for this recipe for a total of 2 Points.

If you use dried breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs you may need to alter the Point values accordingly.

What Marinara Sauce should I use?

I usually use homemade marinara sauce for this dish but I have also used shop brought pasta sauce.

It's really up to you what you use!

Both are good .... but this Easy Marinara Sauce is really very good and what is more it is zero Smart Points!

If you use shop brought Marinara Sauce (or another tomato based sauce) the Smart Points for this dish may be higher. You will need to check the nutritional information for the sauce that you are using and adjust the points accordingly.

Which Cheese should I use?

I make this dish with mini babybel light but I've also made it occasionally with light mozzarella. However, as light mozzarella can be quite difficult to find, I have given you the choice! Both are good!

How to prepare the parmesan chicken cutlets

Pictures of preparing chicken parmesan | weight watchers

Place the chicken breasts in a freezer bag and use the smooth side of a meat mallet or a rolling pin to pound them until they are approx ½ inch thick (picture 1).
Pounding the chicken ensures that it cooks uniformly. If you don't do this you may find that once cooked one end of the chicken is dry and tough whilst the fatter end of the chicken is still raw in the middle! You really don't want that!
Get sorted before you begin! Place the flour on a plate and season well with salt and pepper. Mix the breadcrumbs and half of the parmesan cheese on a separate plate. Whisk the egg and pour it into a shallow dish (picture 2).
Dip the chicken breast in the seasoned flour so that all sides are lightly coated in a thin layer of flour (picture 3).
Shake off any excess.
Place the floured chicken breast in the whisked egg and then turn so that both sides are covered in egg (picture 4)

Hold the chicken breast over the bowl so that any excess egg drips back into the bowl.
Place on the plate of breadcrumbs (picture 5)
Carefully turn the chicken so that all sides are covered with the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture (picture 6)
You may have a little egg and breadcrumb mixture left over but that will depends on the size of the chicken breasts you are using (picture 8)

Place the breaded chicken breasts on a plate and set aside for 15 minutes.
Heat the oil in a good quality non stick frying pan / skillet. I absolutely love my Le Creuset frying pans which are available to buy from Amazon.
Once the oil is hot, lay the breaded chicken breasts in the pan (picture 10). Cook for approximately 2 minutes without turning, until they start to brown.
Carefully turn the chicken breasts over and cook the other side for about 2 minutes more until golden brown (picture 11).
Remove the chicken breasts from the frying pan and place on top of the marinara sauce. Top with a little more sauce, the mini babybel (or mozzarella) and the remainder of the grated parmesan cheese (picture 12)
Bake in a preheated oven for 15 - 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese has melted and turned golden brown and has started to bubble.

What goes well with Weight Watchers Chicken Parmesan

Traditionally, Chicken Parmesan is served on top of pasta. A small portion of pasta would add a further 3 or more Points to this dish (depending on your plan).

I like to serve this Chicken Parmesan with spiralized zucchini / courgette to save on Points. I use a Mueller spiralizer, like this one available from Amazon to make them.

You could also save on Points and serve this dish with a large green side salad.

You could serve it with a small portion of new potatoes and some zero point veg for a really filling, satisfying meal.

For an amazing comfort meal, serve it with some smooth mashed butternut squash!

Can this dish be Frozen

Yes it is possible to freeze this Chicken Parmesan.

Cook as instructed and then leave to cool completely, before placing in a freezer safe container.

Defrost and then reheat thoroughly ensuring that the chicken is piping hot throughout.

Please note: If freezing, the breadcrumb will not be as crispy as when it was freshly made, but it still tastes wonderful!

Cuisine American

Servings 2 portions

Calories 364 kcal

2 small chicken breasts boneless & skinless
1 egg whisked
½ tbs plain / all purpose flour
4 tbs fresh breadcrumbs (40g)
Salt & pepper
2 tbs grated parmesan cheese
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup marinara sauce (225g)
2 light mini babybel cheeses or 45g light mozzarella
Basil optional

Preheat the oven to 230°C / 210°C Fan / 450°F
Place the chicken breasts in a freezer bag and use a meat tenderiser or rolling pin to pound them to approx ½ inch thick.
Sprinkle the flour on a plate and season with some salt and pepper. On another plate, mix one tablespoon of grated parmesan with the breadcrumbs. Finally, whisk the egg in a shallow bowl.
Remove the chicken breasts from the freezer bag and roll them in the flour until all sides are covered.
Dip the floured chicken breast into the whisked egg & then roll in the breadcrumb/parmesan mix until the whole breast is covered in breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded chicken breasts on a plate and set aside for 10 - 15 minutes.
Spoon most of the marinara sauce into a small casserole dish (holding back 2 - 3 tablespoons) and set aside.
Heat the oil in a good quality non stick frying pan/ skillet over a medium heat. Carefully place the chicken breasts in the frying pan and cook for about 2 minutes either side until both sides turn a light golden brown. The chicken will be cooked fully in the oven later - this step is just about sealing the chicken so that it remains succulent when it is placed in the oven & crisping up the breadcrumbs!
Place the chicken breasts on top of the marinara sauce, and divide the remaining sauce over the top of the two chicken breasts.
Halve the mini babybel cheeses before placing on top of the chicken. Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken has cooked right through, is no longer pink in the middle and the cheese has melted and browned (15 - 20 minutes).

If you use shop brought marinara sauce it may change the Smart Point value of this dish.

Custom Background Terrarium Tutorial

Custom Vivarium Background Guide

How to build great looking backgrounds for vivariums & terrariums

This guide is intended for adult enthusiasts, and should not be otherwise attempted without adult supervision This article will explain the process we use when building a custom polyurethane & silicone based vivarium background. With excellent longevity, a fairly low cost, and a straightforward construction process, we've found this style to be the best background solution for a live vivarium. (Although it works for non-live enclosures, too!) This method isn't the least expensive or quickest way, but the long-lasting finished product is worth the time & expense in our opinion. These backgrounds are best suited for small/medium temperate or tropical species, and they hold up perfectly in highly humid conditions.

What you'll need to build your own

We stock everything you'll need to get the job done right!

Step 1: Initial Silicone Layer

This ensures the background will stick well to the glass, and also offers a good way to conceal the foam work from view

(Yours won't have anything besides silicone inside yet) This important step ensures a tight, even looking seal against the glass terrarium being used. Some DIY guides skip this important step to save a little time & money. Unfortunately without it, the ugly foam is visible from the outsides of the enclosure, and the background will be more likely to fall away from the glass. To start, throw on some latex gloves and apply a thin, even layer of black aquarium grade silicone along whatever section of the glass panels you'll be building the background on. This layer should be less than 1/8" thick, which both conserves silicone, while allowing for the fastest cure time. We suggest aiming to apply the thinnest layer possible while ensuring the layer still appears opaque when viewed from the outside of the enclosure. A putty knife/spreader is a huge help when it comes to spreading out this thin layer, as any spots over 1/8in thick can take significantly longer to cure. In our example, the background extends from the back to both sides. The initial silicone layer's edges do not need to be perfect, since they will be getting trimmed in the final steps. A more important goal during this step is to keep the silicone looking bubble-free when viewed from the outside in. If you are building a live vivarium (we are in this example), it's best to not add silicone all the way to the bottom, since the bottom few inches will be taken up by the drainage & substrate layers. If you are building a background for an enclosure without these thick substrate layers, the initial silicone layer can continue from top-to-bottom. * Allow 48+ hours to cure before proceeding! *
Aiming a fan at the silicone helps speed up the process. Don't continue to the next step if you suspect it isn't 100% cured! If uncured silicone is sealed-in by more silicone and/or foam, air will not reach it, and it's curing process may slow or stop completely.

Step 2: Foam & Decor

Positioning & mounting all the decor for hardscaping

Now the fun begins. Place any pieces of vivarium safe wood, rocks, or vines onto your background to get a visual idea of what you'll be building. Once you've decided on a layout, you can lightly tack them to the background using polyurethane foam. Simply apply some foam on the underside of the pieces you'll be using (where they'll contact the silicone-covered glass panel), and set them in place. If you are using heavier decor, or don't have much surface area to attach the wood decor to the background, we suggest using an additional dab of silicone to add structural integrity to the piece. In that case, waiting 24 hours for that to cure will be necessary before proceeding with foam. Once the decor is settled into place, you can begin to foam-in around them, building as realistic of a pattern as possible. We suggest using inexpensive Great Stuff foam for this purpose. Foaming Terrarium Background

By allowing the foam to cure for about 7-10 minutes, it should actually be pliable enough for you to push, pull, and form it using your hands before further sculpting is necessary. We strongly suggest using latex gloves for this step, as polyurethane foam does not wash off. Depending on the depth of the foam, it will set & harden after about 30-60 minutes of application. Although the outside may be hard to the touch, the inside may still be very pliable. For this reason, we recommend waiting 12 hours before using a razor knife or sculpting tool to shape ledges, platforms, vines, roots, & whatever else you'd like to see into the foam. New foam sticks well to cured foam, so if you aren't happy with the initial result, you can always apply a little more to re-sculpt later. Polyurethane foam cans are generally considered "one-time-use", and we suggest finishing the foam parts of your project within 1 hour of opening a can. In the above photos, we used 5 smaller cork rounds to create that "cork tree" look, with each piece being held together with silicone. Cork bark rarely arrives looking that way, due to the way it's removed from the trees. To make a long story short, "finding the perfect cork tree" is actually more about building the perfect cork tree out of small, easy to obtain, inexpensive cork rounds + flats. In all, the above build used three cork flats, and 5 cork tubes to complete the look. Once the silicone holding the cork rounds together cured, we filled the hollow parts with foam to add rigidity, and reduce the risk of an animal getting inside a tube. A side-note relating to different foam types:
Pond foam is an alternative option we've seen being used lately. Considering it's about 300% more expensive and gets covered with silicone & background mix anyway, we recommend (and use!) the usual Great Stuff product. Furthermore, in our experience, pond foam expands more than the standard Great Stuff foam, which makes it a little more difficult to work with. * Allow 24 hours to cure before proceeding if you only used foam! Allow 48-72 hours if you used foam and/or silicone. *
Aiming a fan at the silicone helps speed up the process. Don't continue to the next step if you suspect it isn't 100% cured!

Step 3: Silicone & Texturing

The most difficult part, and the last step before things start to look right aesthetically

This is the most difficult step of the project, and it will require appropriate preparation for the best result. For this reason, it's critical to ensure you have everything ready to go before you begin to apply silicone. We've always urged clients to mix their own background texture substrate for the best aesthetic result. A mixture of fine-grade coconut fiber, medium-grade coconut fiber, and peat moss is an excellent choice. Since our article first went live back in 2010, we've developed our own proven Custom Background Texture Substrate that's specifically mixed for this purpose, and can provide more dimension & a better visual effect than coconut fiber would alone. Once your background mix is prepared, apply a new layer of silicone over all of the exposed existing silicone and polyurethane foam. Be sure to completely cover the foam and if you have to, add a little extra onto the edges touching your decor add-ins to be sure they look appropriately blended in. (It can easily be trimmed later if you use too much.) The silicone should completely cover all of the foam and original black silicone, and should not be applied thicker than 1/8". Here's the tricky part... After applying the silicone, there is only a 7-10 minute window to apply the background mix before the silicone begins to get tacky. Once silicone "tacks up" and begins to cure, the background mix will not stick, so it's imperative to work quickly. Working in a highly humid, warm location will help to extend the time before silicone cures, and working without fans blowing on the project will also help give you the most time possible. It can be a pain to go back and correct errors, and difficult to make corrections look perfect, so it's often best to practice before proceeding. After the silicone layer is applied, pour a bunch (more than you'll use) of the background substrate mix onto the silicone and gently, evenly press it into place. Be sure to remember where all the small details and crevices are! Allow your terrarium to sit background side face up with the Background Mix pile still on top of the drying silicone for at least an hour. (Overnight is ideal) If you've applied silicone & background texture mix to the sides & background simultaneously, don't try and remove the remaining pile(s). Waiting awhile will ensure that the silicone can hold on to as much of the texture mix as it can. Once you are confident it's mostly cured, the enclosure can be placed face-up and the texture can be gently removed. Paintbrushes work great, but gently blowing it down works well too. Once cleaned up, it should look something like the inset photo. * Allow 48-72 hours before proceeding. *

Step 4: Trim Work + Touch-Ups

It's all downhill from here!

At this point, we have what looks like the beginnings of a nice custom background, although the edges & Background Mix coating may not quite be perfect yet. From here, any missed spots with bare foam or silicone showing can be carefully touched up with a thin layer of silicone & Background Mix. As always, try to limit the silicone application thickness to 1/8" or less, to ensure it can cure quickly & completely. If any pointed edges of foam are sticking out past the silicone, they may be difficult to cover up effectively. In this case, carefully removing the edge using a crafting knife or razor will allow for a nice, flat surface. At that point, a repair of silicone + more Custom Background Mix is an easy task. Any portions of wood decor that were unintentionally covered by foam or silicone can usually be scraped & trimmed back without much effort. It's nice to avoid this step, but that's often easier said than done.

Using paper towels carefully taped around wood pieces can help prevent accidental-silicone coverage, and make the job a little less touchy. After touching up any missed spots with a little silicone & texture mix, you are ready for final trim work. All that's left to do is neatly trim the edges of the silicone back to wherever you'd like them to be using a razor blade. Be careful not to hit any noticeably thicker silicone or foam for the thinnest edge-lines. You'll be trimming the outsides of the background (shown below) and also anything overlapping the (in our case) cork feature on the inside of the vivarium that you'd like removed. When you are done trimming the edges it should look something like the inset photos. * Allow 48-72 hours before proceeding. *
Aiming a fan at the enclosure at this step helps speed up the process. Don't continue to the next step if you suspect it isn't 100% cured!
