- Spread half of the marinara sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Arrange half of the breaded chicken pieces over the sauce in a single layer.
- Dollop half of the cheese mixture over the chicken.
- Repeat layers with remaining marinara, chicken, and cheese mixture.
- Top with remaining mozzarella cheese, spreading evenly to the edges.
- Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and the cheese is bubbly with golden-brown spots on top.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
