What You Need: - Four chicken breasts that are skinless and boneless
Three ingredients: marinara sauce (one cup), Italian spice (one teaspoon), and garlic powder (one teaspoon).
Toss with some salt and pepper, then top with a cup of shredded mozzarella.
1. A tablespoon of olive oil 2. Two tablespoons of shredded Parmesan cheese
- If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Instructions:
1. Bring the oven temperature up to 375 °F, or 190 °C.
Second, to keep it from sticking, apply a thin layer of marinara sauce in a baking dish.
Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and coat each side of the chicken breasts with the spice.
4. Preheat a big oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for three to four minutes per side, or until they become a golden brown, once the pan is heated.
5. Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish when they have been seared. Top the chicken with the rest of the marinara sauce.
Sixth, coat each chicken breast equally with grated Parmesan and crumbled mozzarella.
7. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese begins to bubble and develop a golden color.
Eight, before serving, let the meal down to rest for a few minutes.
9. For an additional splash of color and taste, you may garnish with fresh basil leaves if you want.
