Ingredients

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s)
1 pound(s)
Egg whites
2 item(s)
Dried plain breadcrumbs
0.5 cup(s)
Italian seasoning
1 Tbsp
Table salt
0.5 tsp

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a large baking pan with cooking spray.
2
Place the chicken between two sheets of wax paper; using a rolling pin, pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.
3
Place the egg whites in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs with Italian seasoning and salt. Dip the chicken in egg whites; turn to coat. Then dip the chicken in the bread crumb mixture; turning to coat it thoroughly.
4
Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and add oil; heat over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and cook until it's lightly browned and no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side (cook the chicken in batches, if necessary).
5
Pour 1/2 cup of sauce into the prepared baking dish; place the chicken in the pan in a single layer. Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the chicken; sprinkle with both cheeses. Bake until chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbly, about 25 minutes. Garnish with basil.
