Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each), rinsed, dried, trimmed
of fat
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic, crushed
• 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup low-fat Parmesan cheese, grated

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Warm the olive oil and garlic in the microwave to blend the flavors. In a
separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dredge the
chicken breasts in the oil mixture, letting the excess run off, then coat in the
bread crumb mixture.
3. Place the coated chicken breasts into a shallow baking dish and place in the
oven for 10 minutes, flip and cook for another 10 – 15 minutes, until the
chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
