Healthy Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan with Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a lighter twist on the classic Chicken Parmesan with a crispy, baked chicken breast topped with a modest layer of fresh marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. Accompanied by perfectly roasted asparagus drizzled with a touch of olive oil, this dish delivers a flavorful balance of savory, tangy, and fresh notes in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Lightly pound the chicken breast for even thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly over the chicken to create a light, crispy coating.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is baking, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread it out on another baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus for about 10-12 minutes until tender but still crisp.
In the last 5 minutes of the chicken’s baking time, remove the chicken and spoon marinara sauce over it, then top with mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven to allow the cheese to melt.
Once both the chicken and asparagus are cooked to perfection, plate them together and enjoy!
