Your Italian Grandmother Might Be Rolling Over in Her Grave

I'll be up front with you internets. This is not going to taste like your Italian mama used to make. Or like the piping dish from your favorite Italian restaurant. But, it's a pretty good substitute. If you are an Italian foodie purist, I take no responsibility. To you others, it's good, I promise. I serve over spinach but you could also do some wheat or brown rice pasta.

Side note: Welcome to my introduction of Pomi tomato sauce. Found in a box. Imported from Italy. Not even 1/4 as expensive as it sounds. Available in your local g-store. SO GOOD! Taste like homemade! GO FIND SOME.

Chicken Parmesan
Serves 8

Ingredients:

8 thin chicken breasts (you can buy them like this or just pound them yourself)
2 egg whites
1.5 cups Panko bread crumbs (I probably should make a Panko label)
1-2 cups skim mozzarella (depending on how cheesy you like it)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 box Pomi Tomato Sauce
1/4-1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped (depending on how basil-ie you like it)
salt
pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375

Spray a 9x13 dish with cooking spray.

Place egg whites in shallow bowl and bread crumbs on a plate. Give each breast an egg white wash and dip each side into the bread crumbs, making sure to coat completely. Place into pan. Repeat with remaining breasts and dust all with salt and pepper.

Pour tomato sauce over the breasts. Sprinkle both cheeses and basil over the sauce.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and chicken is cooked through.
