INGREDIENTS
1 piece Chicken Breast (approx. 150g)
1 large Whole Egg
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
0.5 oz Parmesan Cheese (grated)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
4 sprigs Fresh Basil
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast lightly between two sheets of plastic wrap until even in thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg and set aside. In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, dried oregano, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip the chicken breast first into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then press into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated on both sides.
Place the coated chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the marinara sauce evenly over the top.
Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes to warm the sauce and allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh basil sprigs before serving.
