Baked Parmesan Chicken
Ingredients:
- boneless skinless chicken breasts, rinsed and trimmed, cut into smaller pieces if desired
- fresh grated parmesan cheese
- gluten free chicken coating (substitute bread crumbs if you want)
- egg whites
- chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, cilantro)
- olive oil
- lemon (optional)
Directions:
- prepare ingredients
- dredge chicken in egg whites
- coat both sides with the grated cheese and bread crumb mixture (sorry, I didn't measure for this meal...I probably used a cup of cheese, and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the gluten free coating I used)I also sprinkled in a little ground black pepper
- LIGHTLY coat a baking dish with olive oil (I used my favorite lemon infused olive oil)
- place coated chicken in baking dish and sprinkle over any remaining cheese mix
- Sprinkle chopped herbs over chicken
Bake:
- 350 degrees until internal temp reaches 170 degrees (30-345 min depending on the size of chicken pieces) and juices run clear
- optional: place briefly under broiler to brown cheese
Serve:
- lift from pan with spatula careful to keep the cheese coating on the bottom in place (and not left behind in the pan)
- serve with fresh steamed asparagus and quinoa with brown rice
- optional: squeeze lemon wedge over all three and garnish with a lemon slice
