Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan with Fresh Herbs
Savor a lighter twist on the classic Chicken Parmesan. Tender, lean chicken breast is coated in a seasoned whole wheat breadcrumb mixture, baked to a crispy finish, and topped with a modest layer of low-fat mozzarella and zesty marinara sauce. Finished with a burst of fresh basil and oregano, this dish offers a delightful blend of textures and flavors that's both satisfying and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 ounce Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Marinara Tomato Sauce
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, dried oregano, and a light drizzle of olive oil to help the coating adhere.
Press each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is crisp.
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon a thin layer of marinara tomato sauce over each piece.
Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
