INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
Fresh Basil sprigs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast slightly for even thickness. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Place the egg white in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip the chicken breast first in the egg white, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle a minimal amount of oil over the top to help achieve crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over the top of the chicken. Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with freshly torn basil leaves and serve immediately.
