Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 pieces whole wheat buns
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0 as needed non-stick cooking spray
- 2 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces slices of tomato
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
On a cutting board, cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make thinner pieces, then lightly pound them with a mallet to even out the thickness.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, beat the egg whites until slightly frothy.
Step 4
In another dish, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Step 5
Dip each chicken piece into the egg whites, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to make sure the coating sticks well.
Step 6
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray each piece with non-stick cooking spray to enhance the crispiness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. Flip the chicken halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
Step 8
While the chicken is baking, prepare the buns by lightly toasting them and arranging lettuce and tomato slices on the bottom halves.
Step 9
Once the chicken is done, place a piece on each prepared bun and top with the other bun half.
Step 10
Serve immediately, and enjoy your low-fat breaded chicken burger!
