INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1/2 large Egg (beaten)
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness for consistent cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels.
Set up a dredging station with a shallow bowl of beaten egg (using half a large egg, lightly whisked) and a separate plate with panko bread crumbs.
Dip the chicken in the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then press it into the panko to coat evenly.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with olive oil to help the coating crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the coating turns golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the tomato sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and parsley before serving to add a burst of color and fresh flavor.
