Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
• In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom. Add the sautéed chicken on top.
• Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
• Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the cheese layer.
• Evenly sprinkle the Italian-style breadcrumbs over the sauce, followed by the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
• Once done, remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
