INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 clove Garlic
4 sprigs Fresh Basil
4 sprigs Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg and set aside. In a separate shallow dish, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dip the chicken breast in the egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating well.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the chicken to help crisp the coating.
Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes until the coating is golden and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Warm the tomato sauce in a small saucepan; spoon a modest amount over the baked chicken in the last 5 minutes of cooking if desired.
Garnish with fresh basil and parsley just before serving for added aroma and flavor.
