It’s getting close to turkey day!! I’m excited to spend time with my family and eat delicious food.
Since I’m home today I decided to make these Chicken Parmesan Cakes. I like them because they are low in Freestyle points and they taste good.
A store bought rotisserie chicken is perfect for this recipe. I used the two chicken breasts and I shredded it into really small pieces. That helped to keep the chicken cakes together.
I mixed together an egg, Italian bread crumbs, skim milk, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and salt. Then I added the shredded chicken to it.
I mixed it all together, then formed 6 patties. After that I cooked them in a large frying pan for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. I did not use oil in the frying pan, instead I used non-stick cooking spray.
Once they were cooked I put them on a baking sheet and added 1 tablespoon of low fat spaghetti sauce and 1 tablespoon part-skim mozzarella cheese to each cake.
Then I popped them under the broiler for about 3 minutes, once the cheese was melted.
These Chicken Parmesan Cakes are only 2 Freestyle points each. I had two of them and it was only 4 Freestyle points.

I think they are perfect for lunch or dinner. They are light and low in points plus they go great with a salad.
This is also a dish that is kid friendly, which I love.
Yield: 6 Servings (2 points each for blue and purple, 4 points each for green)
