Ingredients
  

For the Bake:
  • 1 medium Zucchini cut into thick chunks
  • 1 medium Yellow Squash
  • 0.5 pound Red Potatoes quartered
  • 1 small Red Bell Pepper sliced thinly
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 0.75 cup Whole-Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cup Low-Fat Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder

  • 2 large Egg Whites

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cutting Board and Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for that golden, crispy topping.
  2. In your baking dish, combine the zucchini, yellow squash, red potatoes, and red bell pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt and ground black pepper, and toss to coat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy. Dip each chicken breast into the egg whites, allowing excess to drip off.
  4. Combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in another bowl and mix well.
  5. Press each egg white-coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, covering all sides, then place on top of the veggies in the baking dish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it on its own or with a side salad!
