CHICKEN PARMESAN CASSEROLE

Cook the Chicken:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Casserole:

1. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Arrange the cooked chicken breasts in a single layer on top of the sauce.
3. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the chicken, ensuring that each breast is fully covered.
4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the casserole.

Bake the Casserole:

1. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
2. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
3. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before serving.

Serve and Enjoy:

1. Allow the Chicken Parmesan Casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
2. Serve hot, accompanied by a side of pasta or a crisp green salad, and enjoy the irresistible flavors of this comforting Italian-inspired dish.
