* 1 teaspoon olive oil

* 2 cups chopped red bell pepper

* 1 cup chopped onion
* 2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

* Chicken:

Preparation To prepare tomato sauce, combine sun-dried tomatoes and water in a bowl; cover and let stand 30 minutes or until soft.
Drain and finely chop tomatoes.

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add sun-dried tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion; sauté 7 minutes.
Stir in canned tomatoes;
bring to a boil.

Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in parsley, basil, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and garlic.


Preheat oven to 350°.

To prepare chicken, lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup;
level with a knife.
Combine flour, Parmesan, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow dish.
Place each breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; flatten to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Dip each breast half in egg white; dredge in flour mixture.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add chicken; cook 5 minutes on each side or until golden.
Arrange in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Pour the tomato sauce over the chicken.
Sprinkle with mozzarella.
Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.

Serve over linguine.
