Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan with Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a lighter take on a classic Italian favorite with this Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan paired with fresh roasted asparagus. The chicken is coated in a crisp panko breadcrumb crust, then baked to perfection and topped with a zesty marinara sauce and melty mozzarella. Complemented by tender, flavorful asparagus, this dish packs a satisfying blend of textures and tastes.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 ounce Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 cup Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Coat the chicken evenly with the panko breadcrumbs. For extra crunch, lightly press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon marinara sauce evenly over the top, then sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
While the chicken bakes, trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a separate baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender-crisp.
Once both the chicken and asparagus are done, serve the chicken parmesan alongside the roasted asparagus. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal.
