For the Topping
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs Regular breadcrumbs can be substituted.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Spread half of the marinara sauce across the bottom of the baking dish, then layer the shredded chicken on top. Pour remaining marinara sauce over the chicken.
  3. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and sauce.
  4. In a bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle over the cheese layer.
  5. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.
