How to Make Baked Chicken Italiano
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup Italian salad dressing. Dip each chicken breast in the dressing, ensuring it's fully coated.
- In a separate shallow dish, place 1 cup of breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Carefully place the chicken breasts in the hot frying pan and brown for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly golden.
- Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a shallow baking dish.
- Spoon 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce evenly over the chicken.
- Top with 8 ounces of sliced fresh mozzarella cheese.
- Arrange 1 cup of chopped fresh tomatoes over the mozzarella.
- Sprinkle generously with 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If the tomatoes begin to burn, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil for the remaining cooking time.
