Best Ever Low-Fat Baked Chicken

Yummo ! We are always looking for low fat ideas that don't taste low fat - well done. I made it twice and just for something different i layered my baking tray with low fat tomato and garlic ( pasta sauce ) placed the chicken on top and cooked ... it worked very well and added a little more LOW FAT flavour..
