Even the kids love it! Thin chicken breasts are dusted in bread crumbs (seasoned with Parmesan cheese, basil, and oregano), then baked for 10-12 minutes. Top with mozzarella, return to oven for 1 minute. Serve with a favorite organic spaghetti sauce. Ingredients:
2 cups spaghetti sauce |
1 egg white |
1 tablespoon water |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1 cup dry bread crumbs |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper |
4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded 1/4 inch thick |
butter-flavored cooking spray |
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Pour spaghetti sauce into a saucepan over low heat.
2. Whisk egg white and water together in a shallow bowl until evenly combined. Spread the flour out onto a plate. In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
3. Dip the chicken breasts into the flour, and shake off loose flour; dip them into the egg white, then gently press into the seasoned crumbs. Shake off loose crumbs; spray both side of the chicken breasts with the cooking spray. Lay the chicken breasts onto a nonstick baking sheet.
4. Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese; return to oven and bake until the cheese is melted and starting to brown, 1 to 2 more minutes. Serve topped with the hot spaghetti sauce.
