INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (141g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (28g)
1/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
Italian Seasoning, Garlic Powder, Salt & Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast lightly to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Lightly coat the chicken breast with a thin layer of marinara sauce to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
Dredge the chicken evenly in whole wheat breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
Place the breaded chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet and spoon a generous layer of marinara sauce over the top.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve warm. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra Italian seasoning if desired.
