1 oz. sundried tomatoes, packed without oil (about 1/4 cup)
1 cup boiling water
1 tsp. olive oil
2 cups chopped red bell pepper
1 cup chopped onion
2 (14.5 oz.) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

1 Tbls. balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Chicken:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 (4-oz.) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 Tbls. olive oil
Cooking spray
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 cups hot cooked linguine (about 6 oz. uncooked pasta)

To prepare tomato sauce, combine sundried 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 sundried tomatoes, bell pepper and onion; saut? 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 tsp. 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 tsp. 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 Tbls. 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.
