INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Italian-Seasoned Breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
1 large Egg
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flatten the chicken breast slightly to ensure even cooking. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Place the egg in a shallow bowl and whisk until smooth. In another shallow dish, combine the Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip the chicken breast first into the egg wash, ensuring it's well coated. Then press it firmly into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides evenly.
Lay the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the marinara sauce evenly atop the chicken, then sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving to add a burst of herbaceous flavor.
Serve immediately with a side salad or your favorite steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
