INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Low-Sugar Tomato Sauce
Fresh Basil (4 sprigs)
Fresh Parsley (4 sprigs)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and place it between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound it to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
In another small bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy.
Dip the chicken breast into the egg white first, ensuring full coverage, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle a minimal amount of olive oil if desired to help with browning.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the coating is crisp.
In the final minutes of baking, warm the low-sugar tomato sauce and spoon it over the chicken, or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with freshly torn basil and parsley sprigs before serving.
