INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (~170g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1/4 cup shredded Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/3 cup Marinara Sauce (82g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
Olive Oil Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil.
Place the chicken breast on a cutting board. If needed, gently pound it to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow dish, spread the whole wheat breadcrumbs. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Coat the chicken breast evenly with the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure they adhere.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the top with a light coat of olive oil.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon marinara sauce evenly over the top.
Sprinkle shredded low-fat mozzarella and a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving to enjoy the crispy, cheesy finish.
