INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Low-Sugar Marinara Sauce
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 Tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Asparagus
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the asparagus.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Brush with a little olive oil.
Coat the chicken evenly with the whole wheat breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the breaded chicken in a lightly oiled skillet and cook over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes each side until golden and crispy.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Spoon the marinara sauce over the top and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus in a drizzle of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and spread out on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Serve the crispy chicken parmesan hot alongside the roasted asparagus for a balanced, nutritious meal.
