Ingredients

1 to 1½ lbs. chicken breast, halved or thinly sliced
2 egg whites
½ cup gluten free bread crumbs*
¼ cup shredded Parmesan + about more for chicken topping
¾ cup low-sugar marinara sauce** + more for serving over pasta, if desired
1 12 oz. package Gluten Free Barilla Pasta

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. and prepare large baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Break 2 egg whites into shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese.
Coat each side of chicken breast in egg whites and then coat with bread crumb mixture. Place each chicken breast in baking dish.
Bake at 450 degrees F. for about 18 mins.
Then remove from oven and top each with about 2 tablespoons marinara and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese; bake until bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare Gluten Free Barilla Pasta according to package instructions.
Serve chicken over pasta and enjoy!

Notes

*You can use seasoned gluten-free crouton crumbs. If you're not using preseasoned bread crumbs, I would suggest adding about ½ teaspoon garlic powder and ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning to the mixture.
**Use your favorite marinara sauce or my delicious homemade version.
