A healthier take on the classic Chicken Parmesan, packed with flavor and nourishment, perfect for busy weeknights or family brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1.5 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Dried basil to taste
  • Dried parsley to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Butterfly and pound the chicken breasts until they reach about ¼ inch in thickness.
  3. Set up three shallow bowls: one with whole wheat flour, another with whisked eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, black pepper, dried basil, and parsley.
  4. Dredge each chicken cutlet first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Place the breaded cutlets on the baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway for even cooking.
  6. Remove from the oven and top each cutlet with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella.
  7. Broil for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  8. Serve with a fresh garden salad or whole wheat pasta for a complete meal.

Notes

For extra crispiness, spray the breaded cutlets lightly with cooking spray before baking.
