Ingredients

  • 4 slices whole-wheat bread (1-ounce each)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 (6 ounce) skinless boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 jar good-quality marinara sauce (about 3 1/2 cups)
  • 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (1/2-ounce) shredded Parmesan

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the bread in the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs are formed, about 25 to 30 seconds. Put the crumbs on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes, until golden. (You will wind up with about 1 1/3 cups toasted crumbs.)

In a medium bowl, toss the crumbs with oregano, garlic powder, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and milk together. In a third bowl stir together the flour, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Dip each piece of chicken, 1 piece at a time, in flour, shaking off excess, then egg, then bread crumbs, shaking off excess.

Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Place breaded breasts in a glass baking dish and spray on each side with cooking spray, about 5 seconds total per side. Bake breasts until cooked though and crumbs are browned, about 15 minutes. Top with marinara sauce, mozzarella and parmesan and return to oven for an additional 10 minutes, until cheese is bubbling.

    Good and easy. I used panko instead of bread crumbs. It was nice and crispy.

    This was an awesome recipe. Quick and easy to fix and healthy all in one. I fix a saute veggie medley and my children liked the chicken so much they ate their veggies for more. Definitely on the top of the list!

    This was the first time I've ever made chicken parm, and I plan to use Ellie's recipe as my permanent one. It was so flavorful and rich, despite using reduced fat and other healthy ingredients. I used whole grain store-bought bread crumbs [Gia Russa brand] instead of making my own and it turned out just fine. My only problem was that I think 15 minutes was just a bit too long for the chicken, as it turned out a little dry for my tastes, although my boyfriend thought it was great. I may bake the chicken for only 12 minutes next time. For even crispness, I put the chicken on a rack over a sheet pan and it was perfect - that will solve sogginess issues!
