Savor the classic Italian flavors of this Chicken Parmesan, reimagined for a healthier lifestyle.

Every bite is a comforting medley of textures and flavors that deliver both satisfaction and nourishment.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg
2 tbsp Whole-Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
2 tbsp Shredded Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
3 tbsp Fresh Basil
3 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until smooth.
In another bowl, combine the whole-wheat breadcrumbs with a pinch of dried herbs (optional).
Dip the chicken breast first into the beaten egg, ensuring it is evenly coated, and then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides well.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly drizzle with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven. Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over the chicken, then sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and parsley before serving.
