INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
0.125 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
0.5 oz Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
0.33 cup Marinara Sauce
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 spray Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
Pound the chicken breast to ensure even thickness. Season lightly with salt and pepper, if desired.
In a shallow bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Coat the chicken breast on both sides with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon marinara sauce evenly over the top.
Sprinkle low-fat mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then return the chicken to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and parsley before serving.
