INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 large Egg Whites
Fresh Basil leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy.
In another dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip the chicken breast first in the egg whites, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven, spoon marinara sauce evenly over the top, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to warm the sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
