How to Make Low Fat Bread Crumb Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Whisk together 2 large egg whites and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard in a shallow bowl.
  4. In a separate shallow bowl, combine 1 ½ cups Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs (Progresso panko recommended), 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Place ½ cup all-purpose flour in a third shallow bowl.
  6. Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) with salt and pepper.
  7. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the egg white mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the chicken breasts and bake for another 10 minutes.
  10. Turn on the broiler and broil for 1 minute, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite heated marinara sauce, if desired.
