Preparation

Preheat oven to 325° F.
Place chicken breast halves in a glass baking pan. Pierce each breast with a fork several times to allow mixture to season and flavor as it cooks.
Melt margarine in a glass mixing bowl in the microwave. Start at 15 seconds and stir to distribute heat.
To melted margarine, add basil, parmesan cheese, garlic powder and Mrs. Dash®. Stir mixture with a fork or whisk.
Pour mixture evenly over chicken breasts making sure parmesan cheese is smoothly distributed.
Baked uncovered, basting every 10 minutes with mixture from the pan, for a total of about 25 minutes or until juices in chicken are clear, not pink.

Helpful hints

Two tablespoons dried basil may be substituted if fresh basil is unavailable.
Parmesan cheese contains 36 milligrams phosphorus for one tablespoon. The key is to limit recipe to a very small amount to keep phosphorus low.
This recipe may be used in a CKD non-dialysis diet, but the portion size may need to be adjusted for a lower protein diet. Ask your dietitian about modifications for your individual protein requirements.
