6 Tbsp egg whites
? Cup Almond Milk

Here is how you make Panko and Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Pesto:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil (if desired, you can cook directly on the baking sheet but foil makes for extra easy cleanup). Set up two shallow dishes for breading the chicken. In one dish, beat the egg white then add milk, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. In the second dish, add breadcrumbs. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, coating both sides and letting any excess drip off before transferring to the breadcrumbs. Coat both sides, lightly pressing the breadcrumbs into the chicken to ensure they are well-coated. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add chicken breasts and cook about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet and continue cooking in the oven until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken.For the pasta, heat a large pot of water to boiling over high heat. Add salt and add pasta to boiling water. Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions. Drain and toss with pesto sauce.For the pesto, combine basil and garlic in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped, slowly stream in olive oil with processor running until uniform. Stir in the cheese, pour over pasta and mix well. Serve immediately and Enjoy!Serving Size: Makes 12 servingsNumber of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user GREYTDASH.
