Easy Chicken Parmesan with Chunky Tomato Sauce



1 slice of whole wheat bread, toasted and crushed into crumbs
4 b/s chicken breasts, sliced into 8 pieces, halved horizontally

3 tbsp olive oil
1 diced onion
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 28 oz cans diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning

6 oz mozzarella cheese

8 oz whole wheat(or whole wheat blend), or other whole grain pasta

Mix bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, set aside. Saute onion and garlic in olive oil. Add tomatoes and Italian Seasoning and simmer. Spread 2 cups of the sauce on the bottom of a 13x9 pan and keep 2 cups warm for serving over your pasta. Put the remaining 2 cups away and use it for pizza sauce or for a spaghetti lunch. Lay chicken pieces over the sauce. Sprinkle bread and cheese over the chicken. Top with mozzarella.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, covered. Uncover for the last 10 minutes. Boil pasta during that last 10 minutes of baking.
