Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan with Fresh Herbs
Enjoy a lighter take on a classic Italian favorite with tender, baked chicken breast coated in a crisp layer of whole wheat breadcrumbs and Parmesan, finished with a zesty homemade marinara and fresh herbs for a burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 large Egg
1 tablespoon Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
0.5 ounce Part-Skim Parmesan Cheese
0.25 cup Marinara Sauce
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Slice the chicken breast horizontally if desired for thinner cutlets or keep whole for a robust serving. Pat dry with a paper towel.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until well mixed. In a separate shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip each chicken piece first in the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb and cheese mixture.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy. For extra crispiness, you can broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the marinara sauce evenly over each piece. Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 2 minutes to warm the sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful Chicken Parmesan with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
