Baked Parmesan Chicken
Such a great, easy chicken dinner recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 6 halves skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 2 cups jarred marinara sauce (we like Classico Tomato-Basil)
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- 8 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- ¾ cup crushed garlic butter Ritz crackers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Drizzle olive oil evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish, and then sprinkle with garlic and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken breasts to the bottom of the dish.
- Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle basil over the sauce, and top with ½ of the mozzarella cheese, followed by ½ of the Parmesan cheese and crushed crackers. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Bake until the cheese and crackers are golden brown and the chicken is no longer pink inside (35 minutes or more- depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts). If you use an instant read thermometer, doneness should be 160℉ into the thickest part of a chicken breast.
