Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan with Roasted Asparagus
Savor a lighter twist on the classic Chicken Parmesan with a perfectly baked, crispy exterior and a melty layer of mozzarella over tangy marinara, paired with tender roasted asparagus. This dish delivers a satisfying crunch and vibrant flavors without compromising on health.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole-Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (Shredded)
6 Asparagus Spears
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Dredge the chicken breast in the whole-wheat breadcrumbs until evenly coated. For extra crispiness, lightly press the breadcrumbs onto the surface.
Place the chicken on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over the chicken and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top.
On the other side of the baking sheet, arrange the asparagus spears. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Ensure the asparagus is tender and slightly crisp.
Once done, remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and then serve warm.
