Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 240 ml Low sodium chicken broth
• 120 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 60 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 60 grams All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with unsalted butter.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, beat the egg and stir in the low sodium chicken broth until well combined.

Step 5

Place the flour in a third shallow dish.

Step 6

Dip each chicken breast into the flour, coating both sides lightly, then into the egg and broth mixture, and finally dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.

Step 7

Arrange the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it over the top of the chicken breasts to help them brown and crisp in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute for a tender and juicy result.

Step 11

Serve the low sodium breaded chicken with your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
