Ingredients You’ll Need
(9×13-inch baking dish)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
2 cups (16 oz) marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups (8 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup (2 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt & black pepper to taste
Optional: ½ cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs or panko for crunch
Pro Tips:
Pound chicken to ¾-inch thickness—ensures even cooking.
Use whole-milk mozzarella—pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that don’t melt smoothly.
Add breadcrumbs last—sprinkle on top before baking for golden crispness.
