Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tbsp flaxseed meal
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tsp water
  • 2 1/2 cups favorite marinara or this recipe
  • 2 medium zucchini spiralized
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 Tbsp fresh basil leaves chopped
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut chicken horizontally and pound each piece about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, flaxseed meal, oregano and garlic powder. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together egg whites and teaspoon of water until frothy.
  • Dip chicken into egg mixture and press into bread crumb mixture, coating both sides. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
  • Spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until juices run clear and cooked through.
  • While chicken is baking, heat marinara on the stove in a small saucepan on medium heat and spiralize zucchini. Set aside on paper towels so that any excess water is soaked up and feel free to sprinkle with a little salt to help with this.
  • Remove chicken and top each piece with 2 tbsp marinara + 2 tbsp mozzarella and place back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, until cheese has melted.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup heated marinara onto zucchini noodles (this will soften your noodles so no need to cook them in a skillet), top with baked chicken parm and sprinkle with fresh basil. Enjoy!
