Skillet Pizza Chicken

Ingredients:

1 egg white
¼ cup buttermilk
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup bread crumbs
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded thin
2 cups tomato pasta sauce
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Pasta, cooked

Directions:

1. In a shallow bowl, combine the egg white and buttermilk, beating lightly.

2. On a plate, combine the Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, flour, and bread crumbs. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg and then in the flour mixture, making sure to completely coat each piece. Set the chicken aside.

3. Heat a large non-stick skillet coated with non-stick cooking spray over medium heat. Add the chicken, and cook until lightly browned. Turn the chicken, and cook several more minutes or until almost done. Lower the heat, and cover the chicken with pasta sauce. Top with the mozzarella; cover and cook several more minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve over a bed of pasta.
