Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan with Fresh Herbs
Savor this take on a classic Italian favorite, featuring a tender chicken breast encrusted with whole wheat breadcrumbs, lightly baked to a perfect crisp. Topped with a zesty marinara, a blend of melty part-skim mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, and garnished with fresh basil, this dish delivers delightful textures and bright, herbaceous flavors in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg White
1/3 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
5 Fresh Basil Leaves
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast to ensure even thickness, then season with salt and pepper.
Dip the chicken into the egg white, ensuring it's fully coated.
Press the chicken into the whole wheat breadcrumbs, coating both sides evenly.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the oven, spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over the top, and sprinkle with part-skim mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese has melted and is slightly bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
