    • 🥫 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
    • 🥫 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
    • 🍚 1 tablespoon white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
    • 🌿 1 teaspoon dried basil
    • 🌿 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 🧄 1 medium garlic clove, chopped

  • Chicken and Coating

    • 🍗 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish that is deep enough to leave at least one inch between the chicken and the top of the dish.

2

In a large pot over medium heat, stir together tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, parsley, basil, oregano, and garlic to prepare the sauce.

3

In a large bowl, toss chicken with bread crumbs until completely covered.

4

Arrange the coated chicken in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper, then add half of the shredded Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.

5

Pour the prepared tomato sauce evenly over chicken. Sprinkle with half of the remaining Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.

6

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.

7

Remove foil and top with the remaining Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Bake uncovered until the cheese is fully melted.

8

Remove from oven and let sit for five minutes before serving.
