Recipe
Preheat oven to 425oF. Spray an 8" square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In gallon-size sealable plastic bag, combine bread crumbs and 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt, oregano, basil and black pepper; seal bag and shake to blend. Dip one chicken breast into egg white, turning to coat. Add to bag; seal bag and shake to coat. Place coated chicken breast on large plate; repeat, using remaining chicken breasts. In large nonstick skillet, heat oil; add coated chicken breasts. Cook over medium- high heat, 1 minute on each side, until lightly browned; transfer to prepared baking pan. Add zucchini to skillet; cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Arrange zucchini around chicken in pan. Add onion to skillet; cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in tomato puree and crushed red pepper; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt, oregano, basil and black pepper. Pour tomato mixture over chicken and zucchini; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 15 minutes, until mixture is bubbling and chicken is cooked through.
