  • Beat egg in a shallow bowl. Spread bread crumbs in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken in egg, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Press the dipped chicken into the bread crumbs until evenly coated on all sides.

  • Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  • Heat remaining canola oil in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir roasted red peppers until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Transfer chicken to a casserole dish and top with Asiago cheese and roasted red peppers.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 8 minutes.

Editor's Note:

The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the breading ingredients. The actual amount of the breading consumed will vary.

Loved this recipe! The chicken was tender and moist inside with a crisp crumb coating (I used Panko crumbs) and it paired greatly with the roasted red peppers and asiago cheese. I definitely ate more than I should have! Plus it only took a half hour to throw together. Read More

Great recipe. Before going into the oven I added a couple of spoonfuls of canned diced tomatoes over each chicken breast added slices of an oven-roasted bell pepper sprinkled some dried basil and oregano over everything then topped it all with Parmesan cheese (didn't have Asiago on hand). Served it over pasta. Read More

Very pretty. Tasty but I'd do a Panko crust next time and season more heavily. Somewhat time consuming but could be started and finished later if company were coming. Served with Fettucine with a Trader Joe's Pomodoro Sauce. Read More

I sautéed mushrooms till they were dry and steamed broccoli till just about done separately. Did not use egg or breadcrumbs (eating carb free) used rosemary s&p and garlic powder while sautéing the chicken. Sprayed a glass baking dish added the cooked chicken the warmed peppers mushrooms and broccoli around the chicken topped with some cheese. Broiled till cheese was golden. Came out great. Read More

This was extremely easy to make and a very good basic recipe. I followed the recipe as written the first time and simply wanted to add a little extra seasoning. I would recommend adding some additional herbs depending on the side dish (since we used pasta I added some dried basil and oregano I would also like to try adding some rosemary or cayenne to change it up).
