INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 large Egg White
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Basil & Parsley)
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly spray a baking tray with olive oil cooking spray.
Pat the chicken breast dry and, if necessary, pound it to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy.
In another bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and finely chopped fresh herbs.
Dip the chicken breast in the egg white, ensuring it is well coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so that the coating sticks.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking tray. Optionally, arrange halved cherry tomatoes around the chicken for added flavor and moisture.
Spray a light coating of olive oil cooking spray over the top of the chicken to help achieve a crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is crisp and golden.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve immediately with a garnish of additional fresh herbs if desired.
