Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan with Fresh Herbs
Enjoy a lighter take on a classic Italian favorite. Tender chicken breast is coated in a crispy whole wheat breadcrumb crust, baked to perfection, and topped with a tangy tomato sauce, melted Parmesan, and a burst of fresh basil. A satisfying and flavorful meal without the heaviness of traditional frying.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast lightly to create an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten.
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly so the crumbs adhere.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven, spoon a thin layer of tomato sauce over the top, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce is warmed and the cheese is slightly melted.
Garnish with fresh basil just before serving.
