1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick baking spray; set aside.
