Ingredients
Serves 4- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh basil or parsley
- 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4-5 ounces each) or 4 thinly-sliced chicken cutlets ((about 1 lb. total))
- 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce, (divided)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 slices fresh mozzarella (about 4 ounces total), (or sub with shredded mozzarella or a shredded Italian cheese blend)
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, (to taste)
- Optional, for serving: cooked pasta or toasted sandwich rolls
- Italian seasoning, (to taste)

Steps
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil (for easy clean-up, if desired) and spritz lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Arrange the chicken on the prepared sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Rub the oil onto the chicken to coat evenly. Season the chicken on both sides with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (reaching an internal temperature of 165°F). Larger, thicker pieces of chicken will require a longer baking time.
- Step 2
Heat the broiler to high. Top each piece of chicken with 1-2 tablespoons of marinara sauce, a slice of mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan.
- Step 3
Place the chicken under the broiler. Cook just until the cheese on top is melted and browned, about 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye on the chicken the entire time, since it can burn quickly.
- Step 4
Toss the remaining marinara sauce with cooked pasta, if desired. Serve the chicken with the pasta and marinara sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs.
