Easy Chicken Parmesan Bake



Here's what you'll need to make 6 portions:
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
hot red pepper flakes, to taste
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used tenderloins)
2 1/2 cups marinara sauce
1/4 cup chopped basil
8 oz mozzarella, shredded
4 oz Parmesan, grated
1 (5-oz) package garlic croutons

Spread the olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes evenly on the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Place the chicken breasts in the dish, and evenly space so they cook uniformly.  Cover chicken evenly with the marinara sauce and chopped basil.  Top with half the mozzarella, and half the Parmesan. Pour over the croutons and spread evenly. Top with the remaining cheese.  Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees, or until top is browned and the chicken is cooked through.  Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with sauce, and juices, spooned from the bottom of the casserole (on it's own or over noodles).  Enjoy!
