Hellmann's Parmesan Crusted Chicken (Low-Fat Version)
This is an unbelievably simple recipe that tastes wonderful. The way I make this low-fat is by using Hellmann's "Just2Good" mayo instead of the regular. Unlike fat-free, I think it tastes JUST like light mayo and pretty close to the real thing. I also substitute low-fat Parmesan cheese, if possible. Enjoy!
