Sheet Pan Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs OR substitute 1/2 cup almond flour for a low-carb alternative
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup marinara sauce (look for no sugar added options)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
• 1 bag riced cauliflower
• 1 bag roasted broccoli

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Set aside.
2. Whisk egg in a shallow bowl until well blended. In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly on both sides. Place on baking sheet.
4. Lightly spray chicken with olive oil or baking spray.
5. Bake for 15 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and add frozen broccoli to the pan, spreading it out as evenly as possible.
7. Return to oven and bake for another 5 minutes.
8. Remove from oven, top chicken with marinara and shredded cheese. Return to oven for 3–4 minutes until melted. Optional: broil for ~2 minutes to brown slightly (watch closely).
9. Meanwhile, prepare riced cauliflower according to package instructions (about 5–6 minutes in microwave) and divide onto 4 plates.
10. Remove chicken and broccoli, top with chopped basil, and serve.

Enjoy!
