INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko Bread Crumbs
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Extra Olive Oil (drizzle)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white. In another bowl, combine the whole wheat panko, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Dip the chicken breast in the egg white, ensuring it’s well coated, then press it into the panko mixture until fully covered.
Lightly drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the breaded chicken to help with crisping.
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. Spoon 1/4 cup of tomato sauce evenly over the chicken and return it to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Drizzle an extra teaspoon of olive oil over the finished chicken, then top with fresh chopped basil and parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy your crispy, herb-infused Chicken Parmesan.
