INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast (170g)
1/3 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (30g)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce (62g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
4 sprigs Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and gently pound it to an even thickness if necessary.
Lightly brush the chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle both sides with garlic powder and dried basil.
Coat the chicken evenly with panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon a layer of tomato sauce over the top, followed by an even distribution of part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil sprigs before serving.
