INGREDIENTS

24 ounces Marinara Sauce ; good quality
1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese ; grated
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley ; Finely chopped
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper
2 large Egg Whites ; lightly beaten

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Preheat the broiler to medium. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

2) Combine the marinara sauce and balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

3) Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, half the Parmesan, half the parsley and some salt and pepper. Put the beaten egg whites in a separate shallow dish. Coat the chicken breath in the egg whites first, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture.
