Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt and pepper.

  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish.
  4. Spoon marinara sauce over the chicken, ensuring it soaks into the breading slightly.
