INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (~142g)
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (~15g)
1 oz shredded Parmesan Cheese (~28g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (~125g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~4.5g)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and chopped fresh basil.
Lightly drizzle the chicken with olive oil to help the breadcrumb mixture adhere, then press each side of the chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Place the breaded chicken breast onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove from the oven and spoon the tomato sauce evenly over the chicken.
For extra crispiness and melted cheese effect, return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce is heated through and slightly bubbly.
Garnish with more fresh basil if desired before serving.
