Chicken Parmesan
4 slices 100% whole-wheat bread
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (butterflied)
Extra Virgin Olive oil
1 jar marinara sauce (about 3 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the bread in the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs are formed. Put the
crumbs on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes, until golden.
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 eggs 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 coated with oil.
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.
