Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Measure out the breadcrumbs, parmesan, mozzarella, flour, tomato sauce, and oregano.

Cut the chicken breast in half lengthwise so that you have two equal sized pieces of chicken.

Crack the egg and whisk in one tablespoon of water.

Mix together the breadcrumb, oregano and parmesan.

Dip the pieces of chicken first into the flour, then the egg mixture and then the breadcrumb mixture.

Spray the baking sheet lined with parchment with the non-stick spray and then place the breaded chicken on top.

Bake the chicken for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Carefully remove the chicken from the oven and flip. Top each piece with some tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and has begun to brown.
