INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
2 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sheet using olive oil spray or the teaspoon of olive oil.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until blended.
In another shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of additional salt and pepper.
Dip the chicken breast first in the egg, ensuring it is well-coated, then dredge in the breadcrumb mix, pressing lightly so the coating adheres evenly.
Place the coated chicken on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Remove from the oven and spoon a thin layer of tomato sauce over the top of the chicken. Optionally, you can return it to the oven on a broil setting for 2 minutes to slightly melt the sauce and intensify flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and parsley before serving.
