  • Brush the olive oil mixture all over the chicken breasts.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish.
  • Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over each chicken breast.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
  • Sprinkle with dried oregano.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  • Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
