Light Chicken Parmesan

We like this breaded chicken. This can be served with some marinara sauce over it with cheese melted on it. Or you can eat it by itself like we usually do. I like to cut the chicken into smaller pieces, almost nugget size.

1 1/2 c. bread crembs
1 T. olive oil
1 oz. (~1/2 c.) grated parmesan
1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 t. garlic powder
Salt & Pepper
1 egg
Cooking spray
Chicken Breasts

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Toast bread crumbs in oil until golden (~10 min.). Cool crumbs slightly, then stir in parmesan.

In a second dish, combine flour, garlic powder, 1 T. salt, and 1/2 t. pepper.
In a third dish, whisk the egg.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, place a wire rack on top and spray rack with cooking spray. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour lightly, dip in the egg and coat with the bread crumbs. Place the chicken on the rack. Spray the top of the chicken with cooking spray. Bake approximately 15 minutes. Enjoy!
