1/4 cup less-sodium chicken broth
1.5 tbsp butter, melted
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs (Italian style)

  2. Heat broth in microwave for 15 seconds or until warm. Stir in melted butter and garlic.

  4. Pound chicken breasts to 1/4" thickness. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt, oregano and pepper.
