INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
Pat the chicken breast dry. If needed, pound it to ensure an even thickness for consistent cooking.
In a shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Lightly spray the chicken breast with olive oil spray. Dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly on both sides.
Place the coated chicken onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the oven. Spoon the tomato sauce evenly over the top of the chicken and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is crispy.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
