Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

LOW FAT CHICKEN PARMESAN MEDITERRANEAN

Steps:

• NOTE: I cut chivken breasts horizontally as I like thinner chicken breasts.
• RINSE chicken and pat dry; rub with Italian herbs.
• In bowl, combine breadcrumbs and feta cheese.
• NOTE: I used the back of a fork to break down feat cheese into much smaller pieces.
• DREDGE chicken breasts into breadcrumb mixture making sure both sides are coated.
• I used Health Griller (lightly sprayed)but you can also make this on the stovetop in a lightly oiled fry pan.
• COOK about 6 minutes until golden brown.
• Place chicken breasts on flat tray.
• Spoon canned tomatoes over top of chicken breast and cover with mozarella cheese; place under griller until tomato sauce is hot and cheese has melted
• NOTE: I used Canned tomatoes with Basil and Garlic for more flavouring; can use any type pasta sauce too -- is simply up to you! :).
• NOTE: Can heat up canned tomatoes or tomato sauce before you put it in the chicken -- I just spoon it out of the can for ease.
• NOTE: These freeze well.
• NOTE: Depending on the size of your chicken breasts, you may have to adjust for more or less breadcrumb/feta combination.
• ENJOY!
