INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast horizontally to create medallions if desired for more even cooking, then pat dry with paper towels.
Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Place the egg white in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil.
Dip each piece of chicken first into the egg white, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the coated chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the top of each piece to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp.
In the last 5 minutes of baking, spoon a thin layer of tomato sauce over each piece to warm through without losing its fresh flavor.
Remove from the oven and garnish with a few extra fresh basil leaves before serving.
