1 (18 ounce) cooking sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2/3 cup breadcrumbs
2/3 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese or 2/3 cup asiago cheese

Steps:

Heat oven to 400°F Line cookie sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray. Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
