Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts skinless, boneless
  • 2 oz marinara sauce
  • 2 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 t Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425F.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; dry chicken will roast instead of steam, which makes for a nice texture under the sauce and cheese.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish.
  • Top each chicken breast evenly with marinara sauce, then Italian seasoning blend, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
