| All-purpose flour | 1 cup |
| Large eggs, beaten | 2 |
| Italian breadcrumbs | 1 1/2 cups |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | 1/2 cup, plus more for topping |

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F to ensure it’s ready when you need it.
- Prepare the chicken breasts by seasoning them with salt and pepper. Then, dredge them in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and coat with a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese for a crispy exterior.
- Fry the chicken in a skillet with olive oil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the golden-brown beauties to a baking dish.
- Layer on the goodness by spooning marinara sauce over the chicken and scattering sliced bell peppers on top for a pop of color and flavor.
- Create the cheesy blend by combining mozzarella, provolone, and extra Parmesan in a bowl. Sprinkle this irresistible mixture over the peppers.

- Garnish with fresh basil before serving to add a burst of herby brightness to your dish, if desired.
