A comfort dish that combines tender chicken breast with marinara sauce and a gooey, cheesy topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups cooked pasta (optional)
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a sturdy baking dish. Generously season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  3. Add the marinara: Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the seasoned chicken, ensuring that every piece is well-coated.
  4. Layer up the cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top, creating a delicious cheesy layer.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Serve and garnish: Optional – serve the casserole over cooked pasta and garnish with fresh basil for a vibrant touch.

Notes

Consider pairing with a fresh green salad or garlic bread. Can be made with homemade marinara for enhanced flavor.
