Enjoy a lighter take on a classic Italian favorite. Tender chicken breast is coated in a blend of whole wheat breadcrumbs and fresh herbs, then baked until perfectly crispy.

INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 oz Fresh Mozzarella
1 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast gently to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white. In another shallow dish, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs with finely chopped basil and parsley.
Dip each chicken breast in the egg white, allowing excess to drip off, then coat generously in the herb-infused breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp.
Remove the chicken from the oven. Spoon marinara sauce evenly over each piece and top with slices or shreds of fresh mozzarella.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes for extra bubbly, golden cheese.
Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired and serve immediately.
