A healthy twist on the classic chicken parmesan, light yet packed with flavor, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1.5 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Butterfly the chicken breasts to about ¼ inch thick for even cooking.
  3. Set up your breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Coat each chicken piece in flour, dip it in egg, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Place the coated chicken cutlets on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Top each cutlet with marinara sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella. Broil for about 2 minutes until cheese is melted.
  7. Serve the chicken over whole wheat pasta or alongside a fresh salad.

Notes

For optimal crunch, don’t skip the broiling step! Customize with different cheeses and add veggies for variations.
