Chicken Parmesan III
4 slices whole-wheat bread
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 egg whites
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
olive oil cooking spray
1 jar marinara sauce
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tbs shredded Parmesan
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Place the bread in the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs are formed, about 25 to 30 sec. Put the crumbs on a baking sheet and bake for 12 min, until golden.
In a medium bowl, toss the crumbs with oregano, garlic powder, paprika, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and milk together. In a third bowl stir together the flour, and the remaining 1/4 tsp and 1/4 tsp 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°. Place breaded breasts in a glass baking dish and spray on each side with cooking spray, about 5 sec total per side. Bake breasts until cooked though and crumbs are browned, about 15 min. Top with marinara sauce, mozzarella and parmesan and return to oven for an additional 10 min, until cheese is bubbling. Serves 4
