INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
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, whisk the egg white until frothy.
In another bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh basil, and minced garlic.
Dip the chicken breast first into the egg white, letting any excess drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the coated chicken on the baking sheet and lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 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 low-sodium tomato sauce over the top, and sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly.
Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired, then serve immediately.
