INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 large Egg Whites
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
3 Fresh Basil leaves
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy. In another bowl, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip the chicken breast first in the egg whites, ensuring full coverage, then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven, spoon tomato sauce over the top, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese begins to melt.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
