Easy Chicken Parmesan Bake

DSC_0002
I got this idea off Pinterest. HERE is the original link (with demonstration video), and below is my version. It was a major hit- everyone loved it and it was really easy to put together!


INGREDIENTS:
2 tbsp olive oil 
2 cloves garlic, crushed 
hot red pepper flakes, to taste 
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used 5 and marinated mine in Italian dressing before cooking) 
2 cups marinara sauce 
1/4 cup chopped basil 
8 oz mozzarella, shredded 
4 oz Parmesan, grated 
1 (5-oz) package garlic croutons (I used salt and pepper flavor)



DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. In the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole pan, spread out the olive oil and crushed garlic. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over that. Then set the chicken breasts on top of that. Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle on the basil. Top with 1/2 of each cheese. Then pour croutons on top. Finish with the rest of the cheese. Bake for about 30-45 minutes (until the chicken is cooked through!). Enjoy!
