# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
½ cup parmesan, grated
02 -
2 cups melty mozzarella, shredded
03 -
4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
04 -
2 cups jarred or homemade marinara sauce
→ Seasonings
05 -
A dash of salt and pepper
06 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Sprinkle your chicken with garlic powder, a good punch of salt, and some pepper. Fire up your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it gets hot.
02 -
Warm up olive oil over medium heat in a big skillet. Brown the chicken pieces for a few minutes on each side till they’re nicely golden.
03 -
Pour about a cup of marinara right into your 9x13-inch dish. Settle the chicken on top, then spoon the rest of your sauce over everything.
04 -
Scatter all your mozzarella and parmesan on top and make sure every piece is covered.
05 -
Slide the dish into your oven and let it bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Once the cheese is bubbling and chicken hits 165°F inside, you’re good. If you want a crunchy cheese top, broil just a few minutes more.
