Worthy of a Special Occasion

Since I work full-time, I need something quick, easy, and tasty. This chicken is so good I think my kids would eat it everyday if they could.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and 1/2 cup sauce)

Ingredients

  • 1/3  cup  all-purpose flour
  • 1/4  teaspoon  garlic powder
  • 1/4  teaspoon  paprika
  • 1/4  teaspoon  pepper
  • 6  (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
  • 2  egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 2  cups  cornflakes, coarsely crushed
  • Vegetable cooking spray
  • 1  (26-ounce) jar low-fat spaghetti sauce
  • 3/4  cup  (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a shallow dish. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture. Dip each piece of chicken in egg whites; dredge in cornflakes.

Arrange chicken in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until crisp.

Place spaghetti sauce in a medium saucepan, and cook over medium heat until thoroughly heated. Pour sauce over chicken, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
