INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
Cooking Spray (Olive Oil)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy.
In another bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip each chicken breast in the egg white, ensuring it’s fully coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is golden and crisp.
Remove from oven and spoon marinara sauce evenly over the chicken. Optional: return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes to warm the sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve immediately.
