Ingredients

4 large plum tomatoes, quartered
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges
2 red or green bell peppers, sliced
1 8-ounce zucchini, trimmed, halved lengthwise, sliced crosswise
1 tablespoon olive oil
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
4 large egg whites
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth, hot

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Place vegetables on large rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle oil over; toss to coat. Roast vegetables until tender and brown around edges, turning occasionally, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven. Increase oven temperature to 500°F.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, spray large nonstick baking sheet with oil spray. Place breadcrumbs on sheet of waxed paper. Whisk egg whites in shallow bowl until foamy. Using mallet, pound chicken breasts to 1/3-inch thickness. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Turn chicken in breadcrumbs; place on platter. Stir Parmesan into remaining breadcrumbs on waxed paper. Dip chicken into egg whites to coat. Then dip chicken into Parmesan breadcrumbs to coat; shake off excess.

    Step 3

    Transfer vegetables to bowl; mix in parsley and thyme. Add broth to baking sheet; scrape up any browned bits. Pour over vegetables. Keep warm.

    Step 4

    Bake chicken on prepared sheet 5 minutes. Turn chicken over; bake just until cooked through, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to plates. Spoon vegetable sauce alongside.
