In a shallow bowl, beat egg until yoke is mixed well. Dip each cutlet in egg mixture then coat with panko bread crumbs.

In small saucepan, heat tomato sauce, stirring occasionally.

In a medium skillet, saute the chopped onion and pepper mixture adding 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil and garlic powder.

Cook until both the onion and pepper are lightly browned but not soft.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until it starts to ripple.

Add cutlets and cook until crisp and golden brown on one side, approximately 6 minutes, then turn and cook the other side for 2 to 3 minutes more until the chicken is no longer pink.

Place the chicken cutlets in a baking dish. Top each cutlet with a slice of Provolone cheese.
