Directions:
1. Preheat the oven at about 230 ° C (450 ° F).

4. Combine bread crumbs and 1/2 c Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl.

7. In a large skillet, heat 1 c of olive oil over medium to high heat until it simmers. Cook chicken, about 2 minutes on both sides, until golden. Finish cooking the chicken in the oven.
8. In a baking dish place the chicken and add around 1/3 c of tomato sauce on each breast. Spread the same amount of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and provolone cheese in each chicken breast. Top of 1 to 2 tbsp of Parmesan cheese with 1 tbsp of olive oil.
9. Bake in a pre-heated oven for about 15-20 minutes before the cheese is bubbly browned, and chicken breast is not pink in the middle. The thermometer inserted into the middle should read at least 165 F (74 C) in an instant-reading position.
