Italian Chicken

This is so good and it takes less than 30 minutes to prepare.

NEED:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves.
2 cans of Italian style stewed tomatoes. ( 14 1/2 ounce cans)
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon of oregano
1/4 teaspoon of hot pepper sauce ( optional)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Slightly flatten each chicken breast. This can be done with a meat mallet, pot..anything sturdy enough to slightly pound the chicken with.
Place chicken in sprayed or greased shallow baking dish, cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and drain the water and fat. Combine tomatoes, cornstarch, oregano and hot pepper sauce in saucepan. Stir to dissolve cornstarch. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour sauce over chicken, top with cheese. Return to oven and bake for 5 minutes. You can garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot over a bed of rice or with rice on the side.

Enjoy!
