Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. On a sheet of waxed paper, combine bread crumbs, thyme, parmesan and parsley. Mix well.

Dip chicken in egg mixture. Dip chicken in breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat.

Place chicken on prepared baking sheet. Bake, turning once, until golden and no longer pink, about 12 minutes.
