Healthy Baked Chicken Parmesan

Split the chicken breasts down the center to ensure even cooking.

Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound it to an even thickness.

Whisk together 2 egg whites until foamy in a bowl.

In a second bowl, combine Italian bread crumbs, whole wheat Panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Bread the chicken by dipping it in the egg whites, then coating it in the dry mixture using one wet hand and one dry hand.

Place the breaded chicken on a rimmed baking sheet coated with olive oil cooking spray.

Lightly coat the breaded chicken with olive oil cooking spray or use an olive oil mister.

Bake the chicken in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes until cooked and crispy.

Top each piece of chicken with a generous spoonful of tomato sauce and a slice of Mozzarella cheese.

Return the chicken to the oven until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Finish with freshly chopped basil and serve with extra sauce, pasta, or roasted broccoli salad.
