Grilled Chicken Parmigiano

This recipe is so cheesy and yummy you will never guess it's low in fat and calories

6 (4oz) chicken breasts, pounded thin
2 cups low-fat marinara (use the homemade one)
1 (14.5 oz) can Hunts Fire Roasted tomatoes with garlic
1 cup (4oz) reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 oz grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
1/2 cup Panko (I use Kikkoman brand)
Basil
Salt and Pepper
Olive oil spray

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Lightly spray a 9x13 pan.  Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat.  Season chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly spray the chicken with olive oil.  Grill until just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.  Spread 1/3 of marinara on the bottom of the prepared dish.  Lay the chicken on top.  Spoon remaining sauce over the chicken; scatter the chopped tomatoes over the top.  Sprinkle liberally with basil. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.  Bake until the cheese is melted and is beginning to brown, 10-12 minutes.  Sprinkle the panko and more basil on top if desired, and serve.
