INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 large Egg White
Fresh Basil Leaves (4 sprigs)
Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound it to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
In another bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy.
Dip the chicken breast first into the egg white, coating all sides, then dredge thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with additional cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden.
Remove from the oven and spoon the marinara sauce evenly over the chicken. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
