Better Tasting, lower calorie Chicken Parm

I am a total Chicken Parmigiana lover.  It is always one of favorite things to make and eat!  With this recipe the chicken retains it's wonderful crunchy crust and doesn't get soggy in sauce.  For this super simple recipe you will need:
4-6 thin sliced chicken breasts
1/2 cup egg replacer
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 bag of shredded mozarella cheese (Weight Watcher's helps keep the calories low!)
Tomatoe Basil sauce (recipe below)
1.)  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and spray a baking sheet with Pam.
2.)  Put the egg replacer in a bowl and the breadcrumbs on a plate.  Mix in the 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.  Dip the chicken breasts into the egg, then press the chicken breasts into the bread crumbs.  Cover completely with the bread crumbs, then place on the baking sheet.
3.)  Bake for twenty minutes, until a crust develops.
4.)  Remove from the oven and sprinkle cheese over each breast.  Return to the oven and let the cheese melt and get bubbly and golden.
5.)  To plate, ladle some sauce onto the bottom of a plate and put a chicken breast on top of the sauce.  Serve with pasta, garlic bread and a salad! 
Tomato Basil Sauce
8 tomatoes
Bunch of basil
5 cloves of garlic
Salt and Pepper (or Nature's Seasoning)
Sugar, Agave, honey or Truvia to taste.

1. Put everything in your blender and pulse to liquefy.
2.) Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and place on a medium high burner. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half. About a half an hour. It's ready to use
