    Preparation:

    1. Prep the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    2. Create the Sauce: In a large saucepan, combine the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, and fresh basil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and let it simmer gently while the chicken cooks.
    3. Roast the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
    4. Assemble the Dish: Once the chicken is cooked, shred it and add it to the simmering sauce. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let it melt, creating a creamy and flavorful sauce.
    5. Serve: Serve the chicken and sauce over your choice of low-fiber pasta, such as angel hair or vermicelli.
