Indulge in Culinary Bliss with this Irresistible Dish: Cheesy Mozzarella Chicken Bake

Unveil a culinary masterpiece that transcends ordinary dining experiences: Cheesy Mozzarella Chicken Bake. Fixed with precision last night, this dish soared beyond expectations, tantalizing taste buds with every bite.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Note that the chicken should not be fully cooked as it will continue to cook in the oven.
  4. Transfer the partially cooked chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish.
  5. Evenly pour marinara sauce over the chicken breasts.
  6. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each chicken breast, followed by grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Savor the symphony of flavors as the tender chicken melds harmoniously with the rich marinara sauce and the decadent blend of cheeses. For a finishing touch, garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves, elevating this dish to epicurean perfection.
