It's possible to trade profitably on the Forex, the nearly $2 trillion worldwide currency exchange market. But the odds are against you, even more so if you don't prepare and plan your trades. According to a 2014 Bloomberg report, several analyses of retail Forex trading, including one by the National Futures Association (NFA), the industry's regulatory body, concluded that more than two out of three Forex traders lose money. This suggests that self-education and caution are recommended. Here are some approaches that may improve your odds of taking a profit. Prepare Before You Begin Trading Because the Forex market is highly leveraged -- as much as 50 to 1 -- it can have the same appeal as buying a lottery ticket: some small chance of making a killing. This, however, isn't trading; it's gambling, with the odds long against you. A better way of entering the Forex market is to carefully prepare. Beginning with a practice account is helpful and risk-free. While you're trading in your practice account, read the most frequently recommended Forex trading books, among them Currency Forecasting: A Guide to Fundamental and Technical Models of Exchange Rate Determination, by Michael R. Rosenberg is short, not too sweet and highly admired introduction to the Forex market. Forex Strategies: Best Forex Strategies for High Profits and Reduced Risk, by Matthew Maybury is an excellent introduction to Forex trading. The Little Book of Currency Trading: How to Make Big Profits in the World of Forex, by Kathy Lien is another concise introduction that has stood the test of time. All three are available on Amazon. Rosenberg's book, unfortunately, is pricey, but it's widely available in public libraries. "Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude," by Mark Douglas is another good book that's available on Amazon, and, again, somewhat pricey, although the Kindle edition is not. Use the information gained from your reading to plan your trades before plunging in. The more you change your plan, the more you end up in trouble and the less likely that elusive forex profit will end up in your pocket. Diversify and Limit Your Risks Two strategies that belong in every trader's arsenal are: Diversification: Traders who execute many small traders, particularly in different markets where the correlation between markets is low, have a better chance of making a profit. Putting all your money in one big trade is always a bad idea. Familiarize yourself with ways guaranteeing a profit on an already profitable order, such as a trailing stop, and of limiting losses using stop and limit orders. These strategies and more are covered in the recommended books. Novice traders often make the mistake of concentrating on how to win; it's even more important to understand how to limit your losses. Be Patient Forex traders, particularly beginners, are prone to getting nervous if a trade does not go their way immediately, or if the trade goes into a little profit they get itchy to pull the plug and walk away with a small profit that could have been a significant profit with little downside risk using appropriate risk reduction strategies. In "On Any Given Sunday," Al Pacino reminds us that "football is a game of inches." That's a winning attitude in the Forex market as well. Remember that you are going to win some trades and lose others. Take satisfaction in the accumulation of a few more wins than losses. Over time, that could make you rich!

Baked Chicken Parmesan

Baked Chicken Parmesan
Baked Chicken Parmesan is healthy chicken Parmesan that is oven baked, not fried! A traditional recipe for chicken parm has been given a skinny makeover to create this delicious, healthy Italian recipe.
Between you and me, the first time I made Baked Chicken Parmesan, I was ultraimpressed with myself.
Here was a recipe I’d seen in restaurants my whole life, right on our plates. The Parmesan-crusted chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and lusciously juicy on the inside, and the cheese topping was hot, bubbly, and every bit as satisfying as I’d hoped it would be.
No doubt we’d have wine, and I probably would have turned on the Pandora opera station to give the setting the ultimate Italian effect if I weren’t already occupied shoveling healthy Baked Chicken Parmesan into my mouth as quickly as I possibly could.
Baked Chicken Parmesan—A Truly Easy Meal
The funny thing about Baked Chicken Parmesan is that even though it seems pretty deluxe, it’s actually one of the easiest baked chicken recipes to make. Further, now that I have my own perfect version of a crispy, oven baked chicken Parmesan Panko crust, I actually prefer it.
Cooking Shortcuts for Healthy Baked Chicken Parmesan
To make the recipe especially weeknight friendly, I took a shortcut by using good-quality store-bought tomato sauce.
If 100% homemade chicken Parmesan is what you’re after, you can also make a homemade pasta sauce to go along with it, but on most weeknights (and OK, Friday and Saturday nights too), I am equally satisfied to open a jar of one of my favorites.
If you prefer to make your Baked Chicken Parmesan sauce from scratch, you can check out Tricia’s healthy homemade pomodoro sauce recipe or the simple sauce that’s included with my recipe for Whole30 Meatballs.
My one non-negotiable recipe addition: the bubbly, melty mozzarella cheese. I don’t think I needed to tell you that though, did I?
What to Serve with Baked Chicken Parmesan
Personally, I think this dish is perfect with a lightly dressed arugula salad. If you’d like to go full-on Italian restaurant, you could add a baguette and a little olive oil for dipping (this is a healthy Baked Chicken Parmesan, so we are entitled to some extra carbs, yes?). If you’re feeling up for baking and want a lighter option, you can also check out my friend Carolyn’s Low Carb Garlic Parmesan Knots.

Recommended Tools to Make Baked Chicken Parmesan
Pie plates like this white ceramic one (doubles when you need good presentation) or these simple Pyrex ones are my favorite for any recipe that calls for breading in different dishes. (This Baked Fried Chicken is another great recipe that uses them).
Rimmed baking sheets. All day, every day!

Healthy Chicken Parmesan
The BEST healthy baked Chicken Parmesan recipe, ready to eat in 30 minutes! This easy, oven baked chicken Parm recipe with Panko Parmesan crust is kid friendly and tastes better than the restaurant version! Get the recipe here.
YIELD: 4 pieces (2-4 servings) 
PREP TIME: 10 minutes 
COOK TIME: 20 minutes 
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 12 ounces each
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 4 ounces part-skim mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce, plus extra for serving as desired
  • Thinly sliced or chopped fresh basil
  • Optional, for serving: prepared whole wheat pasta or zucchini noodles, or just enjoy on its own!
Directions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise so that you have 4 pieces total. Pound each piece to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Set aside.
  2. In a wide, shallow bowl (a pie dish works well), combine the Italian breadcrumbs, whole wheat Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites until lightly foamy. Cut the mozzarella into 4 slices, or grate and divide into four equal portions.
  3. Arrange your work station in the following order: pounded chicken, egg whites, breadcrumb mixture, baking sheet. Working one at a time, dip each piece of chicken into the egg whites, shaking off any excess, then the breadcrumbs, gently patting the chicken as needed so that the crumbs stick to all sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly coat the tops of the chicken with baking spray.
  4. Bake until the chicken is cooked through (it should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F) and the crumbs are brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, spoon 2 tablespoons of sauce over each piece of chicken, and top with a slice of mozzarella. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, about 3-5 additional minutes. Sprinkle with basil and enjoy immediately, topped with extra sauce as desired.
This recipe is best enjoyed the day it is baked. Leftover chicken can be reheated in a lightly greased pan over medium heat and is also good served at room temperature on top of salads.
