  • Place chicken into skillet 2 at a time. Cook on one side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip over chicken and cook until bottom is golden brown 2-3 minutes. Remove chicken to the prepared sheet pan. Cook rest of chicken.
  • Spoon marinara sauce in center of each cooked chicken breast. Top with shredded cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown. This will finish cooking chicken. Garnish with fresh or dried parsley.
