INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/3 cup Tomato Sauce
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast gently to an even thickness to ensure uniform baking.
Lightly spray or brush the chicken with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
In a shallow bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with a pinch of dried oregano or basil for an extra herby flavor.
Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides lightly.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the oven. Spoon a thin layer of tomato sauce over each piece, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
