Tags: Chicken Dinner Italian
Yield: 4
- 4 boneless. skinless chicken breast halves (4-6 oz each)
- 1 tsp Sandwich Sprinkle
- 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
- 1 cup bread crumbs, preferably panko
- 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan
- 1/2 Tbsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup tomato-based pasta sauce (such as Cabernet marinara)
- 4 oz shredded mozzarella
- pasta side for chicken parmesan
- Preheat the broiler. Cover the chicken breasts with parchment paper or plastic wrap and, using a meat mallet or a heavy-bottomed pan. pound the chicken until it is uniformly 1/4" thick. Season with the Sandwich Sprinkle.
- Place the egg whites in a shallow bowl. Mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning on a large plate.
- Dip each breast into the egg whites to coat both sides and then into the crumb mixture, patting the crumbs so they fully cover the chicken.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side before turning. (The crust should be deeply browned and crunchy.) Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a baking sheet.
- Spoon the tomato sauce over the chicken pieces, then top with the cheese and place underneath the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
