INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast (113g)
1/2 large Egg (28g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (10g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce (60g)
4 leaves Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breast on a cutting board. If needed, lightly pound to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, beat the 1/2 egg until smooth.
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and if desired, a pinch of dried herbs for additional flavor.
Dip the chicken breast first in the beaten egg, ensuring it’s well coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the breaded chicken to promote crispiness during baking.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until the coating is golden and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
Warm the tomato sauce in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Once the chicken is done, spoon the warm tomato sauce over the top and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, flavorful Chicken Parmesan.
