Low Fat Italian-Style Chicken

This is a quick and easy recipe to make, requiring only four main ingredients. There's no clean-up, either, as the chicken breasts are cooked in foil packets. All that's needed to accompany this low fat Italian-style chicken are some vegetables on the side and perhaps some noodles.

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup no-salt-added marinara sauce (like Trader Joe's organic)
• 1/2 cup reduced fat shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup freshly chopped basil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Tear 4 sheets of foil wrap measuring 12" by 18". Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet. Spoon one-fourth of the marinara sauce over each chicken piece, followed by cheese and basil. Bring up the sides of the foil and fold the top edge over twice. Seal the edges, leaving enough room for air to circulate inside. Place each packet on a large cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Unseal foil packets carefully, as the steam will be extremely hot. Enjoy with noodles and vegetables. Serves 4.
