Soy Chicken Parmigiana
This phenomenal recipe will fool any die-hard Italian food lover into thinking it's the full-dairy version. For a gourmet treat, try placing a layer of sautéed spinach on the chicken breast before topping it with tomato sauce and soy cheese. As a side dish, try serving Steamed Broccoli in Basil, White Wine and Garlic Broth. Makes 4 servings.


Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup California Plum Tomato, Basil and Garlic Sauce, or 1/2 cup canned tomatoes
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons egg whites (from about 1 egg)
1 cup grated soy mozzarella, (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated soy Parmesan


Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cover with the egg whites. Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly on both sides.

2. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side, but do not cook all the way through.

3. In a shallow casserole dish, spread 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce on the bottom and place the chicken on top. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce over the top. Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan over the sauce and breasts.

4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted.
