Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan with Fresh Herbs
Enjoy a lighter twist on a classic Italian favorite! Tender chicken breast is coated in a crisp layer of whole wheat breadcrumbs and egg whites, then baked to perfection. Topped with a vibrant marinara sauce, melty part-skim mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan and fresh herbs, this dish delivers satisfying crunch and rich flavor while staying clean and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 large Egg Whites
1/3 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
Fresh Basil (4 sprigs)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flatten the 5 oz chicken breast slightly between two sheets of plastic wrap to ensure even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the 2 egg whites until slightly frothy.
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat bread crumbs with grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip the chicken breast into the egg whites, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat evenly.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven 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.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then return the chicken to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Garnish with fresh basil sprigs before serving.
