INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (~170g)
1 Large Egg
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (~30g)
2 Tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (~10g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (~125g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~5g)
4 Sprigs Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flatten the chicken breast slightly with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten.
In another bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and roughly chopped fresh basil.
Dip the chicken breast in the egg, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture by pressing the mixture onto the surface.
Place the coated chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Warm the tomato sauce in a small pan over medium heat and drizzle it over the baked chicken before serving.
Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and garnish with extra fresh basil if desired.
