Fresh Dish Foodie, Whitney is serving up an Italian classic that can be cooked on a single pan. This weeknight recipe can be found in our Gatherings Healthy 2022 magazine.
Ingredients:
- Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 thin-sliced chicken breasts (about 4-to 5-ounces each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup lower sodium marinara sauce
- 1/2 shredded part-skin mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425°; spray rimmed baking pan with cooking spray. In shallow dish, stir bread-crumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and pepper.
Brush chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides; place on prepared pan. Discard any remaining breadcrumb mixture.
In large bowl, toss broccoli, salt, remaining 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon oil; arrange in single layer around chicken.
Roast chicken and broccoli 10 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°. Spoon marinara sauce over chicken and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese; roast 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Drizzle broccoli with lemon juice. Makes about 2½ cups broccoli.
Tip: Serve chicken and broccoli with cooked whole grain pasta, brown rice, or quinoa
