INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/3 cup Tomato Sauce (82g)
6 spears Asparagus (90g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Prepare a shallow dish with whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Pat the chicken breast dry. Coat the chicken evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated chicken breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Top the chicken with a thin layer of tomato sauce and then sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on another baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven (you can place it on a separate rack) for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Once both the chicken and asparagus are done, plate the chicken with the melted cheese topping alongside the roasted asparagus. Serve immediately.
