Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless chicken fillets
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 jar marinara sauce (24 oz)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients: chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and olive oil.
- In a medium bowl, mix breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning until evenly distributed.
- Coat each boneless chicken fillet lightly with olive oil to help the breadcrumb mixture adhere.
- Dip each coated fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring even coverage.
- Arrange the coated chicken fillets in a baking dish in a single layer with space between each piece.
- Pour marinara sauce generously over the arranged chicken fillets.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the marinara sauce.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbling and golden.
- Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot, optionally with a side salad or pasta.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage. To reheat, use a baking dish at 350°F (175°C) covered with foil for about 20 minutes.
