INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 ounce Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil and Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Lightly spray or brush the chicken with olive oil. Dredge each piece in whole wheat bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the breaded chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven, spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over each piece, and top with mozzarella cheese.
Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Garnish with grated Parmesan and freshly chopped basil and parsley before serving.
