Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.75 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Pour the marinara sauce over and around the chicken breasts in the skillet, ensuring each piece is coated with sauce.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the chicken and sauce.
In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Stir until the panko is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs over the cheese layer.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the breadcrumbs are golden and crisp.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil (if using) and serve hot. Pair with a side of pasta, salad, or garlic bread for a complete meal.
