Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic and hot red pepper flakes.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in bottom of the dish, and pour marinara sauce over chicken. Sprinkle basil over marinara sauce, and top with half the mozzarella cheese, followed by half the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle on the croutons, then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven until cheese and croutons are golden brown and the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 35 minutes to an hour, depending on the shape and thickness of your chicken breasts.

CHICKEN PARMESAN BITE-BAKE
Okay it sounds silly, right? I find it hard to fry the chicken breasts because they're different thicknesses from one end to the other. I just cut them into bite sized cubes and continue on with the recipe. My mom likes it with pasta under it, but I really just like it with a nice salad and some cheesey bread. Add as much or as little as you like; this is just a basic, tasty recipe. Enjoy. :o)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut chicken into cubes. Lay out flour, egg wash, and bread crumbs in an assembly line. Season bread crumbs with some Oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken cubes in flour, egg, and bread crumbs respectfully. Coat the bottom of your pan in olive oil and fry until done.
- Saute onion and garlic in the tablespoons of olive oil and butter in a medium sauce pan. Add the jar of sauce. Heat until simmering. Add the can of tomatoes, perhaps some canned or jarred mushrooms, and the oregano. Salt and pepper to taste. Heat through.
- In a cake pan or ramekins or whatever oven safe dish you have handy, layer the chicken, sauce, and cheeses until evenly covered and distributed. Cook in the oven until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened (about thirty minutes).
- Enjoy. Serve with pasta, a salad, cottage cheese, or steamed veggies. :).
QUICK BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN
In this lighter version of chicken Parmesan I skip the pan-frying in oil and instead bake lightly-breaded chicken breasts in the oven, then top with sauce and cheese. My family's not big on lots of sauce and cheese, so I just use a little to flavor the dish. Feel free to add more if you like, but it's excellent as-is. Serve chicken over pasta with additional sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Whisk water and egg together in a bowl until smooth. Combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, thyme, and garlic powder in a separate bowl.
- Dip each chicken breast in egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip back into bowl. Coat each chicken breast in bread crumb mixture, shaking off excess. Repeat dipping each coated chicken breast in the egg mixture and the bread crumb mixture for a double-coating and place in the prepared baking dish. Spray breaded chicken breasts with cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Pour spaghetti sauce over each chicken breast and top each with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the cheeses are melted, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
