INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

1 large egg

0.25 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 oz low-moisture mozzarella cheese

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly brushing it with the olive oil.

• 2

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound it with a meat mallet until it is an even half-inch thickness.

• 3

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a second shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then press firmly into the seasoned breadcrumbs until fully coated on both sides.

• 5

  Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the coating is crispy and the chicken is nearly cooked through.

• 6

  Remove the pan from the oven, spoon the marinara sauce over the center of the chicken, and top with the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

• 7

  Return to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Serve immediately.
