Scale

2 large boneless

skinless chicken breasts

1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs or panko

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg

1 cup low-sodium marinara sauce

½ cup part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil spray

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the large egg.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove and spoon marinara sauce over each breast. Top with mozzarella cheese.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

For an extra crunch, consider broiling the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
