  • 1 lb. Chicken Breast Cut into about 1" Chunks
  • 2 Cups Bread Crumbs
  • 2 Eggs
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • Crack the eggs in a bowl and whisk with a fork. Put the bread crumbs on a large plate.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Dip each chicken breast in eggs first on both sides, then dip in breadcrumbs on both sides, pressing into the bread crumbs so they stick better.
  • Put breaded chicken breasts on a frying pan.
  • Cook for 4 minutes, then carefully flip the chicken, and cook another 4 minutes, or until cooked through.

  • Spoon mixture into halved bell peppers and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella.
  • Pour chicken broth into baking dish (to help the peppers steam) and cover with foil.
  • Bake until peppers are tender, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Uncover and broil 2 minutes.
