Giada DeLaurentiis' Recipes & Diet Details
Giada DeLaurentiis shared the recipe of the classic Italian-American meal, Chicken Parmesan, via her Instagram. The chicken parmesan is known to have 567 calories per serving and a whopping 33.7 grams of fat, but Giada has shared the recipe of making chicken parmesan more healthy and easier to make by leaving out one of the messier steps when creating this dish.
She wrote down the recipe for making chicken parmesan, saying, "If the breading process of chicken Parmesan turns you off of the idea of making it, behold @Giadadelaurentiis' weeknight Chicken Thigh Parm- no rolling or breading required! Topped with cheese and crispy panko, you still get all of the textural variety with none of the fuss."
She then said that coating chicken with egg and then panko bread crumbs could be a messy proposition on a weeknight, so he completely took out that step without sacrificing the taste of the crunchiness. She had also shared the recipe on her website Giadzy and mentioned that it would take all of 35 minutes to prepare the dish.

The typical Italian breakfast consisted of cookies, cornetti or bread, and she said that she was a starch girl because she was brought up that way. Instead of eggs, oatmeal with olive oil and sea salt was her option, and sometimes she added Marcona almonds with spiced mandarin oranges.
