Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup, shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking dish
  • skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season them with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the seasoned chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Baking
  1. Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking dish and spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast.
  2. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese generously over the marinara sauce.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite pasta or a side salad.

Notes

For an extra crispy crust, you can dredge the chicken in breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese before searing. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
