Chicken Zucchini Marinara

Here's another delicious recipe for you, coming from our dinner tonight!  You can find the original recipe here.
And here's the way I did it.

Ingredients
1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 chicken breasts
2 cups tomato and basil spaghetti sauce (most jars are 2 1/2 cups, so just use it all)
2 cups zucchini - thinly sliced
4 oz mozzarella
2 egg whites
Side note: We do all of our shopping at Aldi's.  I don't know if you have one around you or not, but they're super cheap and the food is just as great.  They've really made improvements from when I was little.  Their produce is fresh and the meat is delicious.  Mr. T and I can usually get away with spending about $60 for 2 1/2 weeks worth of groceries.

Directions
Mix the bread crumbs and half of the grated parmesan.
 
 Coat the chicken breasts in the egg whites.  Then coat both sides with the bread crumbs/cheese mixture.
Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat until hot.
Brown the chicken on each side.
 
 Pour half to 3/4 of the sauce over the chicken.
Arrange the zucchini slices over the chicken.  Sprinkle with the mozzarella and the rest of the parmesan.
 
Top with the remaining sauce.
Cover.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes.

All done!  Makes four servings.
Mr. T's plate.  He gets pasta, I don't.  And a freaking huge piece of chicken.
There's my little chicken, with a nice side salad.  Don't let the size fool you, I was stuffed!
