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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour the marinara sauce over and around the chicken breasts in the skillet, ensuring each piece is coated with sauce.

Step 5

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the chicken and sauce.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Stir until the panko is evenly coated.

Step 7

Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs over the cheese layer.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped basil (if using) and serve hot. Pair with a side of pasta, salad, or garlic bread for a complete meal.
