Dinner: Parmesan Chicken Tenders with Marinara Dipping Sauce

Pregnant women need at least 60 g of protein each day, which shouldn't be a problem since this parmesan chicken is packed with it -- more than 50 g! Preheat oven to 475. Bread 5 ounces of chicken tenders by dipping in an egg wash made with 2 egg whites lightly beaten with a fork, then in 2 tbsp bread crumbs (preferably whole wheat) mixed with 1 tbsp parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Bake chicken tenders on a wire rack or baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray for 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked to 165 degrees internally. Serve with 4.5 ounces baked Alexia sweet potato fries (about 18 fries) and 1 cup steamed broccoli drizzled with 1 teaspoon olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
