  • ½ cup egg substitute
  • ½ cup Italian-style bread crumbs
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
  • Fresh spinach (optional for serving)

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat baking sheet with spray. Cut peppers into ¼-inch strips and chop parsley. Grate 4 oz cheese finely, then thinly slice remaining 3 oz thinly.
    2. Place egg in medium bowl. Combine in second medium bowl: bread crumbs, parsley, salt, grated cheese, and Italian seasoning; mix until blended. Dip chicken into egg, letting excess drip off, then dredge in bread crumb mixture, pressing with fingertips to adhere; arrange chicken on baking sheet (wash hands).
    3. Arrange peppers evenly on chicken; top with sliced cheese. Bake 15–18 minutes until coating is golden and chicken is 165°F. Serve over bed of fresh spinach, if using.
