INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Basil & Oregano)
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.
Lightly spray the chicken with olive oil (optional) and season with salt and pepper.
Spread the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs over the top of the chicken, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the oven, then spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over each piece.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the marinara and return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Finish with a sprinkle of grated parmesan and garnish with fresh basil and oregano before serving.
