Ingredients: 4 small skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound), Nonstick cooking spray, 1 slightly beaten egg white, 3/4 c cornflakes, crushed (about 1/3 cup), 2 T grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 c dried Italian seasoning, basil, or oregano, crushed, 1/8 t black pepper, 1 1/3 c spaghetti sauce, 4 oz whole-wheat spaghetti, fettuccine, or other pasta, cooked and drained
Directions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place each chicken breast half between 2 pieces of plastic wrap; pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet(or rolling pin) to flatten to about 1/2 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap. Lightly coat a shallow baking pan with cooking spray; set aside. In a dish, combine egg white and one tablespoon water. In another dish combine crushed cornflakes, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and pepper. Dip chicken pieces into egg, then coat with crumb mixture. Place chicken in pan and bake 15 minutes or until it's tender and no longer pink. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm spaghetti sauce over low heat. Divid pasta among 4 plates. Add chicken and spoon spaghetti sauce over it.
