Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together Bisquick, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels.
- Dip each chicken piece in beaten egg whites, then coat with the dry mixture.
- Coat a 9 x 13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, consider adding dried herbs like oregano or thyme to the coating mixture. If you want to lower the fat content, you can use egg whites from a carton instead of fresh eggs. You can also substitute the Parmesan cheese with a lower-fat cheese or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option. Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it juicy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the baked chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a well-rounded meal. It pairs beautifully with Old-Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup for a comforting dinner. For a heartier option, consider serving it with mashed potatoes or a quinoa salad to round out your plate.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This helps maintain the crispy coating without drying out the meat.
