INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1/8 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 ounce shredded Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly pound the chicken breast to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
In a shallow dish, spread out the whole wheat breadcrumbs. Dip the chicken into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp.
Remove the chicken from the oven. Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving.
