Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan with Fresh Herbs
Savor a wholesome twist on a classic favorite with tender, lean chicken breast coated in a crisp whole wheat breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, baked to perfection and finished with a light spread of tangy tomato sauce and a burst of fresh basil and parsley.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 oz Parmesan Cheese (grated)
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Low Sodium Tomato Sauce
2 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast slightly for even thickness, then season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
In a shallow dish, whisk the egg white until frothy.
In another bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip the chicken breast in the egg white, ensuring a light coating, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so it adheres well.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle a small amount of olive oil if desired for extra crispiness.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and the crust is golden.
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the low sodium tomato sauce over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and parsley before serving.
