Tonight’s dinner: Cheesy Mozzarella Chicken Bake! The perfect blend of juicy chicken and gooey cheese 🧀🍗
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup basil leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Pour marinara sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the sauce.
Top each chicken breast with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Garnish with chopped basil before serving.
