Preparation
In a shallow bowl, beat egg, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Set aside 2 tablespoons bread crumbs. Place the remaining crumbs in a large shallow dish. Dip chicken into egg mixture, then place in crumbs and turn to coat.
In a large skillet, cook chicken in 2 tablespoons oil until golden brown, 2-3 minutes on each side; remove and set aside. In the same skillet, saute zucchini in remaining oil until crisp-tender; drain. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
Sprinkle the reserved bread crumbs over the zucchini. Top with tomato slices; sprinkle with 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese, basil and remaining salt. Top with chicken. Cover and bake at 400° until a thermometer reads 170°, about 25 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes longer.
