Add three tablespoons of olive oil and allow to heat.
Add peppers, onion, and garlic and saute until the onion starts to look translucent.

Remove vegetables from pan, add a couple more tablespoons olive oil, and lightly brown chicken breasts on both sides. You can do this is batches.

Return chicken to frying pan, top with generous spoonful of pesto, generous heaping of parmesan cheese, generous helping of vegetables.  Use up all the vegetables and don't worry if they fall down in between the chicken.
