Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan with Fresh Herbs
Enjoy a classic Italian-inspired dish with a lighter twist! Tender chicken breast is coated in a crisp layer of whole wheat breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and fragrant herbs, then baked to perfection and topped with a zesty tomato sauce and a fresh basil garnish, making it a delightfully balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
3 tbsp Fresh Basil Leaves
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness if necessary for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white. In another bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dip the chicken breast first into the egg white, making sure it is fully coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly covered.
Place the coated chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Heat the tomato sauce in a small saucepan or microwave until warmed through.
Once the chicken is done, spoon the warmed tomato sauce over the top and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your healthier take on Chicken Parmesan.
