Ingredients
 

  • 4 skinless chicken breasts, or cutlets 4 five-ounce
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup marinara sauce *
  • ½ cup part-skim mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat the baking sheet with oil spray.
  • Pound the chicken breasts very thin using a mallet or heavy can and arrange the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until fully cooked.
  • Sauté the bell pepper and onion in a skillet coated with oil spray over medium-high heat until soft and browned, about five minutes.
  • Top each cooked chicken breast with 2 tablespoons marinara sauce, ¼ of the sautéed vegetables and 2 tablespoons cheese. Place the chicken back in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3 minutes.
