Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish.
Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the sauce, then top with shredded mozzarella.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier option.
For extra flavor, add some fresh basil or parsley on top before serving.

Serve with a side of pasta, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
