Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 egg white
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs

• 4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded 1/4 inch thick

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Pour spaghetti sauce into a saucepan over low heat.

Step 2

Whisk egg white and water together in a shallow bowl until evenly combined. Spread the flour out onto a plate. In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Dip the chicken breasts into the flour, and shake off loose flour; dip them into the egg white, then gently press into the seasoned crumbs. Shake off loose crumbs; spray both side of the chicken breasts with the cooking spray. Lay the chicken breasts onto a nonstick baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese; return to oven and bake until the cheese is melted and starting to brown, 1 to 2 more minutes. Serve topped with the hot spaghetti sauce.
