Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan with Fresh Herbs
Enjoy a lighter take on a classic Italian dish with tender chicken breast coated in a lightly crunchy, herb-infused breadcrumb mix, topped with a modest amount of tangy tomato sauce and melted Parmesan cheese. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh basil for a burst of flavor, this dish strikes a perfect balance between satisfying crunch and juicy tenderness.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil Spray
4 sprigs Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast slightly to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until well-beaten.
In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese and finely chopped fresh basil leaves (reserve a few basil sprigs for garnish).
Dip the chicken breast in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp and golden.
In the last few minutes of baking, warm the tomato sauce on the side.
Once cooked, spoon a thin layer of tomato sauce over the chicken and garnish with remaining fresh basil sprigs before serving.
