I'm overly joyed to be able to announce that my first dish tasted absolutely incredible. In fact, I wanted seconds. I'm beginning to think I'll make a decent housewife after all. ;)
Anyway, I'm just gonna go through the basic steps of how I made it for those of you who are just as inexperienced as I am. This recipe was unbelievably easy. Okay, here we go:
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
red pepper flakes
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used Tyson)
2 1/2 cups marinara sauce (I used Emerils, but any is fine)
few sprinkles of basil
8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
3 oz Parmesan cheese
1 (5-oz) package garlic croutons (I used the garlic and cheese ones, don't have to have cheese, but I found they're better than just regular garlic)
Step 1: Season both sides of each of your chicken breasts with salt and pepper (or whatever seasoning you want to use, I used a little bit of Italian seasoning as well as S&P)
Step 2: Sear both sides of each chicken breast on the stove on high heat (with a little bit of olive oil) until both sides are light golden brown but don't cook all the way through! About 2 minutes on each side.
Step 3: spread olive oil inside a decent sized casserole dish (I used 9 by 13). Also sprinkle some pepper flakes in there, to taste.
Step 4: place the chicken breasts in the casserole dish (however you do it, it doesn't really matter)
Step 5: spread the marinara sauce all over the chicken not leaving any of it uncovered.
Step 6: sprinkle half the mozzerella and half the parmesan all over the chicken.
Step 6: Pour 1 bag of croutons all over, and be sure to take a spatula or something to push the croutons down into the sauce.
Step 7: Pour the rest of the cheese on top of all that ( I found that I used a little bit more than the recipe called for, which is fine! More cheese=more fun!)
Step 8: Put your casserole in the oven preheated to 350 degrees, and bake for about 35-45 minutes.
Take it out, let it cool, then eat!
It seriously gave me a mouthgasm, no kidding. I put salad with fresh tomatos and cucumbers from my garden, and italian dressing and some french bread. It was incredible!
I hope you try this out because it is way too delicious. :)
