Chicken Mozzarella

Ingredients
1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 pounds boned, skinned chicken breast halves
1/2 cup skim milk
Vegetable cooking spray
2 teaspoons sesame or vegetable oil
1 (8 ounces) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried whole basil
1 teaspoon dried whole oregano
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
Combine breadcrumbs and wheat germ; set aside. Place chicken between 2 sheets of waxed paper, and flatten to 1/4 inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Dip chicken in milk; dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray; add oil, and place over medium heat until hot. Add chicken to skillet, and cook until browned on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

Pour one-third of tomato sauce in bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish; add chicken. Pour half of remaining tomato sauce over chicken; sprinkle with next 6 ingredients. Top with remaining tomato sauce. Microwave, uncovered, at high for 8 to 10 minutes; rearrange chicken after 4 minutes. Cover and let stand 2 minutes.
