Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken thighs diced
- 24 oz marinara sauce 1 jar
- ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 1½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup panko toasted
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley, basil, oregano, etc) chopped
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Spray an 11½-inch-by-7½-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the chopped chicken into the pan and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Pour the marinara sauce over the top and stir to mix. Sprinkle the two cheeses over the top of the chicken and sauce.
- In a small bowl, combine the panko, herbs and olive oil. Spread the seasoned panko evenly over the top of the cheese layer.
