Walnut and Rosemary Oven Fried Chicken

I have been watching what I eat for the last two weeks for my upcoming Hawaii trip. I am down over 6 pounds but it hasn’t been easy! I have been doing My Fitness Pal which has been awesome. But I sure have missed all of my yummy treats! This recipe is awesome because it is a light and flavorful dinner. And it is only 300 calories a serving. A total win!

I  can’t even begin to explain how amazing and packed with flavor this chicken was! The chicken crusted beautifully with the walnut, parmesan and rosemary panko crumb mix. I absolutely love the flavor that Rosemary added to this chicken. The chicken was perfectly tender and moist. I do think this is one of the best recipes that I have made. My little 9 year old couldn’t get enough of it! Served with a side salad, this is a meal that you don’t have to feel guilty about. Your skinny jeans can thank me! 🙂
