For extra flavor, marinate the chicken cutlets in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic for at least 30 minutes before coating with the cheese mixture. If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes on hand, you can substitute with fresh cherry tomatoes, halved. Serve over a bed of fresh arugula or spinach for a lighter meal, or alongside your favorite pasta for a more substantial dish. The bell pepper and tomato mixture can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving.
