INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
5 Fresh Basil Leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Pat dry with paper towel.
In a shallow bowl, add the egg white and whisk until slightly frothy.
Place the whole wheat breadcrumbs in another shallow dish. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder if desired.
Dip the chicken breast first in the egg white, ensuring it is evenly coated, then press into the breadcrumbs, coating both sides thoroughly.
Arrange the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle a minimal amount of olive oil over the chicken for extra crispiness.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and top the chicken with the tomato sauce and shredded Parmesan cheese.
Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving to add a burst of flavor and freshness.
