Chicken Parmesan

Another Ellie Krieger recipe. Made this with some whole wheat spaghetti. It was delish!!

Ingredients:
2/3 cup bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg whites
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 (6 ounce) skinless boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
Olive oil cooking spray
1/2 jar good-quality marinara sauce
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoons shredded Parmesan

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, toss the bread crumbs with oregano, garlic powder, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and milk together. In a third bowl stir together the flour, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon 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.

Place breaded breasts in a glass baking dish and spray on each side with cooking spray, about 5 seconds total per side. Bake breasts until cooked though and crumbs are browned, about 15 minutes. Top with marinara sauce, mozzarella and parmesan and return to oven for an additional 10 minutes, until cheese is bubbling.
