Chicken Parmesan

2 Large egg whites, lightly beaten
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
Cooking spray
1 lb (4-4oz pieces) boneless, skinless chicken breast, slightly pounded
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 Cup dried bread crumbs
1 1/2 Cup canned tomato sauce
1/2 Cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (I used FF)
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
In a small, shallow bowl, place the egg whites. In another shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs with salt and italian seasoning. Place the chicken in the egg whites, coat evenly, and then into the bread crumb mixture, coat evenly.
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and add oil. Heat over medium-high heat, place chicken in skillet and cook until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center (approx 4 minutes per side)
In baking dish, pour 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, place chicken in dish and evenly distribute the remaining sauce over the chicken. Cover with both cheeses and bake until chicken is cooked thoroughly, approx 25 minutes.

Serves 4
