Light Parmigiana

Preparation Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the coating In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Prepare the egg wash Place the all-purpose flour in a separate bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water to create an egg wash.

Coat the chicken breasts Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip in the egg wash, and then coat generously with the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the chicken Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.

Add toppings Remove the chicken from the oven and top each breast with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Melt the cheese Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Serve the light parmigiana hot with cooked spaghetti or a side salad.
