INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

3 tbsp whole wheat panko breadcrumbs

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 large egg

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.5 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 medium zucchini

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise to create two thin cutlets and pound them to an even thickness.

• 3

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg; in a separate bowl, combine panko, parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

• 4

  Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture until thoroughly coated on both sides.

• 5

  Place chicken on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 12 minutes until the crust is golden.

• 6

  While chicken bakes, spiralize the zucchini into noodles and lightly sauté them in a pan for 3 minutes until tender.

• 7

  Remove chicken from the oven, spoon marinara sauce over each piece, top with mozzarella, and broil until bubbly.

• 8

  Serve the crispy chicken over the zucchini noodles with any remaining warmed marinara sauce.
