Parmesan Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

If you miss heavy, high carb Italian dishes, this is a great substitute. The rich Parmesan crust topped with tart roasted red pepper sauce makes a perfect date-night dish.

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2-3 chicken breasts cut into strips
salt and pepper

Sauce:
1 roasted red pepper
1/2 vine ripe tomato
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
salt and pepper

Heat oven to 500. Mix cheese, salt and pepper on a plate and roll chicken until well covered. Place on a well oiled baking sheet and cook 15 minutes, turning chicken over halfway through cooking. Make sure chicken is cooked all the way by cutting one piece in half to see if there is any pink.

To make sauce, combine red peppers, tomatoes, olive oil, basil, salt and pepper in a blender and puree until smooth.
