Healthy Crispy Chicken Parmesan with Roasted Broccoli
Savor a lighter twist on a classic Italian favorite. Tender, lean chicken breast is lightly breaded with whole wheat breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of Parmesan, then crisped to perfection in a hot pan. Topped with a modest layer of tangy marinara sauce and served alongside perfectly roasted broccoli, this dish delivers bold flavors, satisfying textures, and a wholesome balance that's as nourishing as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (~142g)
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (~15g)
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (~10g)
1 large Egg White (~33g)
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce (~62g)
1 cup Broccoli (~90g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Seasonings (garlic powder, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the broccoli.
Place the broccoli florets on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the broccoli roasts, pound the chicken breast slightly for even cooking. Season both sides with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up a dredging station: first, lightly beat the egg white in a shallow bowl. In a separate plate, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs with a pinch more garlic powder and pepper.
Dip the chicken breast into the egg white, ensuring it's evenly coated, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to form a light crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Reduce the heat to low, spoon the marinara sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld and the cheese slightly melt.
Plate the crispy chicken alongside the roasted broccoli and serve immediately.
