INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 Egg White
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast lightly to an even thickness. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, whisk the egg white. In a separate small bowl, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dip the chicken into the egg white, then coat it evenly in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the tomato sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce and cheese to meld with the chicken.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
