INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
2 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 spray Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness if needed to promote even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese. Add chopped fresh basil for extra flavor.
Lightly spray the chicken with olive oil cooking spray, then dredge each piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere evenly.
Place the breaded chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven, spoon the tomato sauce evenly over each piece of chicken, and if desired, return to the oven for an additional 2 minutes to warm the sauce.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired and serve warm.
