Simple Chicken Mozzarella

6 (1 1/2 pounds) skinless and boneless chicken breast halves
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dip the chicken breast in egg and coat with breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides and drain.

In a bowl combine crushed tomatoes, green bell pepper and mushrooms. In an 11x7-inch baking dish, evenly spread 1/2 of the tomato mixture. Arrange chicken on sauce, and top with remaining tomato mixture. Sprinkle with cheese.

Bake the chicken for 25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
