Savor this lighter take on the classic Chicken Parmesan.

INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 Large Egg
4 sprigs Fresh Basil
1/2 tsp Olive Oil Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg, and in another bowl combine whole wheat breadcrumbs with finely chopped fresh basil.
Dip the chicken breast first into the egg, then press onto the breadcrumb and herb mixture to coat evenly.
Place the coated chicken breast on the baking sheet. Drizzle or spray a light coating of olive oil on top to help with crisping.
Bake the chicken for about 20-25 minutes or until the inside reaches 165°F and the coating is crispy.
Remove from the oven, spoon marinara sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted.
Garnish with extra fresh basil and serve immediately.
