PIN IT FOR LATER!

If I had to choose one of my favorite culinary ingredients, it would have to be panko. I’m seriously drawn to any recipe that lists it as an ingredient. Just in case you don’t know, panko is a Japanese breadcrumb. When I first heard about it years ago, I thought there would be no way I’d be able to find it in my local grocery store, but you really can find it just about anywhere these days. And if you haven’t tried it, you are really missing out. Panko brings so much more than regular, boring breadcrumbs. You get that crunch and texture – making foods almost feel like they are fried, but keeping in much healthier.

This recipe is not only delicious, but also pretty low in calories. Well, as long as you skip out on the side dish that I have listed as well!!

**Update – the Scalloped Corn and Broccoli can be found here!**
This side dish may not look like much, but it’s one of those that taste a heck of a lot better than they look. I’m not usually a fan of canned vegetables, but this was delicious. Maybe it was the cheese…but I’d definitely make it again! It did take a little bit of planning because it takes an hour to bake, but besides the waiting time, very little work is involved.

If you are like me, you can make the healthy entree and enjoy a not-as-healthy side dish to go along – it all balances out, right??
