Enjoy a light yet satisfying twist on the classic Chicken Parmesan. This dish features a tender chicken breast coated in a crisp whole-wheat breadcrumb mixture, topped with a modest layer of tangy marinara sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor for a well-balanced, nutrient-rich meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Fresh Basil (about 5 leaves)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil spray.
Pound the chicken breast to ensure an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Whisk the egg in a shallow dish until well beaten.
In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dip the chicken breast first in the beaten egg, then coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the top with a bit of olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the top, and return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes to warm the sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
