INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 large egg

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1.5 cup zucchini noodles

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Slice the chicken breast horizontally to create an even thickness and pat it completely dry with paper towels.

• 3

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

• 4

  Dip the chicken into the egg wash, then press it firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until it is thoroughly coated on all sides.

• 5

  Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.

• 6

  Spoon the marinara sauce over the center of the chicken and top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

• 7

  Return the chicken to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and starts to brown slightly.

• 8

  Quickly sauté the zucchini noodles in a non-stick pan for 2 minutes until tender-crisp, then serve the chicken parmesan directly over the noodles.
