Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• ¼ cup canola oil, divided
• ½ cup shredded Asiago cheese
• 1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 (16 ounce) jar roasted red peppers

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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).

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

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