Easy Chicken Parmesan Bake

From Food Wishes

Really easy and quick! This was good and made tons! Definitely the way to go if you want chicken parmesan without the hassle. 

Ingredients: 
2 tbsp olive oil 
2 cloves garlic, crushed 
hot red pepper flakes, to taste 
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approx. depending on how big the breasts are) 
2 cups marinara sauce 
1/4 cup chopped basil 
8 oz mozzarella, shredded 
4 oz Parmesan, grated 
1 (5-oz) package garlic croutons

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
In bottom of 9x13 casserole dish pour in olive oil, crush the garlic and spread it around, then sprinkle some pepper flakes on top. Place chicken breasts on top of oil. Pour marinara sauce on top of chicken and sprinkle on the chopped basil and half the mozzarella and half the paremsan. Next spread the croutons over the entire dish and cover again with the rest of the mozzarella and parmesan. 
Cover with foil and bake for about 35 minutes taking the foil off about half way through. (I didn't cover mine at all because it didn't say to in the original recipe and I ended up having to cover it about 20 min through because it was getting too brown on top and I didn't want it to burn. So the exact time of coverage vs non-coverage has not been perfected yet.) 
Make sure to check the temp of your chicken to make sure it's done.
