Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a clean surface and pat dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix together the mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the seared chicken breasts.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
