INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 medium Tomato
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 ounce Part-skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Dredge the chicken breast in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere to the surface.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is crispy.
While the chicken is baking, slice the tomato and roughly chop the fresh basil.
Once the chicken is nearly done, remove it briefly from the oven and top with sliced tomato and mozzarella cheese.
Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the mozzarella has melted gracefully.
Garnish with the chopped fresh basil and serve immediately.
