• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method

3. In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
4. Coat each chicken breast with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then top with mozzarella cheese.
7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
