  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce

  7. Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

For extra crispiness, consider broiling the chicken for the last couple of minutes of baking. This dish pairs well with a fresh mixed green salad or spaghetti.
