Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Wash and mince parsley; peel and mince garlic.
Combine parsley, garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, black pepper and red pepper in a pie pan or shallow dish.
Dip chicken pieces into beaten egg whites and then into cheese mixture.
Place chicken in a shallow baking pan lightly coated with cooking spray.
Drizzle olive oil over chicken, and sprinkle with any remaining cheese mixture.
Bake for 25 minutes or until tender and no longer pink inside.
Serve immediately with a tossed salad, steamed broccoli and herb roasted potato wedges, if desired.

Notes

This baked Italian chicken pairs well with a variety of side dishes. For a light, yet satisfying dinner I enjoy the chicken with a side salad or roasted Brussels sprouts.
