Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium-sized chicken breasts
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 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 on both sides with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
  2. Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking dish and spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast.
  3. Sprinkle evenly with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as pasta or a fresh salad.

Notes

For an extra crispy crust, you can dredge the chicken in breadcrumbs before searing. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
