2 tablespoons oil
4 teaspoons basil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 egg whites, beaten

For sauce:
Combine tomatoes, olives, oil, basil and garlic. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. In a small bowl, combine egg whites and water. In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, parsley and lemon-pepper seasoning. Dip chicken into egg mixture, then roll in crumbs. Place chicken in a shallow baking pan. Drizzle with the 4 teaspoons melted margarine or butter. Bake in a 350F oven for 30 minutes or until no longer pink. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook tomato mixture, covered, over medium heat for 7 minutes. Keep warm. Using a vegetable peeler, cut carrots and zucchini lengthwise into long, thin slices. Cook zucchini according to package directions, adding carrots and zucchini the last minute of cooking. Drain pasta and vegetables. Toss with remaining margarine or butter.
