3 chicken breasts
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
3/4 c. dry bread crumbs

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound lightly with a mallet until 1/4-inch thick. Combine eggs, salt and pepper. Dip the chicken in the egg mixture and then in the breadcrumbs. Heat the oil until hot in a large skillet. Brown the chicken on both sides; remove it to a shallow baking dish. Pour out excess oil from the skillet. Stir the tomato sauce, basil and garlic into the skillet. Simmer 10 minutes or until it has thickened. Stir in the margarine. Pour over the chicken and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover and bake at 350\u00b0 for 30 minutes. Uncover and place the Mozzarella cheese triangles over the chicken. Bake for 10 minutes longer.
