Clean Eating Chicken Parmesan



https://www.facebook.com/melinda.besinaiz
This simple chicken recipe takes little preparation time and is totally satisfying to eat. This is one of our family's all time favorites! I love how we can take "restaurant menu items" and turn them into our own healthy dishes at home!  I usually serve it with steamed veggies like zucchini and squash!


Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (I didnt have bread crumbs so I toasted 2 pieces of whole wheat toast and threw them in the blender when they cooled)
  • 2 tbsp fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp organic marinara sauce to top each piece of chicken
  • 2 tbsp shredded cheese to top each piece of chicken

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees f.
  2. Break open eggs into a shallow dish and scramble well.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, sea salt, black pepper
  4. Dip each side of chicken breast into the egg and then into bread crumb mixture.
  5. Place in a large baking dish.
  6. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, flip and cook 5 more minutes. Top with marinara sauce and shredded cheese and bake a few more minutes until cheese is melted.
