INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Zucchini Noodles
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet by lightly spraying with olive oil.
Pound the chicken breast gently to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Lightly spray the chicken with olive oil cooking spray, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, patting gently to ensure an even coating.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is crispy.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the zucchini noodles by lightly sautéing them in a non-stick pan for 2-3 minutes to warm them without losing their crunch (optional raw if preferred).
To serve, place the zucchini noodles on a plate, top with the baked chicken, and spoon marinara sauce over the top.
Garnish with extra Parmesan if desired, and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
