TOTAL TIME45 mins
INGREDIENTS :
4 large chicken breasts, boneless skinless
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
1.5 cups marinara sauce
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mOunceszarella
INSTRUCTIONS :
1) Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 375°F.
2) Garlic powder, salt, and pepper are sprinkled on both sides of each piece of chicken to season it.
3)In a skillet set over medium-high heat, add the oil. Sear the chicken for five minutes on each side once the pan is hot. Once all sides of the chicken have been seared, place it in an oiled baking dish (I used a 9×13).
4) Using a spoon, cover the chicken with the marinara sauce and distribute it evenly all around.
5) Following the mOunceszarella, sprinkle the parmesan over the chicken breasts.
6)Bake for 20 minutes uncovered. I advise doing 15 minutes if your chicken breasts are on the smaller side.
7)The cheese should be gently browned after around 3 to 5 minutes under the broiler (watch it closely). Prior to serving, give the chicken 5 minutes to rest (this will keep it juicy). When an instant-read meat thermometer reads 165F in the deepest area, the chicken is finished cooking. While sleeping, it will continue to warm up.
