Print Recipe

A high-protein version of the classic chicken parmesan, perfect for a healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. In another shallow dish, lightly beat the egg whites.
  5. Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg whites, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
  6. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Sear the chicken cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Top each cutlet with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Serve with your favorite pasta or a side salad.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
