Chicken Parmesan

I made this for dinner tonight and it was so YUMMY! Johnny even skipped using his fork and double fisted it into his mouth....I know, no shock there:)

1 1/3 cups bread crumbs
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4 tsp paprika (i just realized I left this out. whoops. I guess this can be optioinal:)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 egg whites
1/2 skim milk
1/2 cup all purpose flour
4 skinless bonless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
1 jar marinara sauce (about 3 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 Tbs shredded parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400.
In a medium bowl, toss the crumbs with oregano, garlic powder, paprika, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
In another bowl whisk the egg whites and milk together.
In a 3rd bowl stir together the flour, and the remaining 1/4 salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
Dip each piece of chicken, 1 piece at a time, in flour, shaking off the excess, then egg, then bread crumbs, shaking off the excess.
Place breaded breasts in a glass baking dish that is spray with nonstick spray.
Bake breasts until cooked through and crumbs are browned, and about 15 min.
Top with marinara sauce and cheese and return to oven for an additional 10 min until cheese is bubbling.
