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
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking dish
  • Large skillet

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sear chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
  4. Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking dish, spoon marinara sauce over each breast, and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can broil the chicken for the last minute or two, watching carefully to prevent burning. Serve with a side of pasta or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
