INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast (142g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1/2 cup Tomato Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast gently between two sheets of plastic wrap to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried Italian herbs. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Lightly beat the egg white in another bowl. Dip the chicken breast in the egg white, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the chicken breast thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the crust is crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the tomato marinara sauce evenly over the top.
Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to warm the sauce and let flavors meld.
Serve immediately, garnished with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan or fresh basil if desired.
