*2 tbsp olive oil
*2 cloves garlic, crushed
*hot red pepper flakes, to taste
*6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or enough to cover corningware)
*2 cups tomato sauce
*1/4 cup chopped basil (I use oregano)
*8 oz mozzarella, shredded (or any other cheese)
*4 oz Parmesan, grated (optional)
*croutons cut into 1" cubes from bread (or use store bought garlic croutons)
Method:
Oil the bottom of casserole dish. Spread crushed garlic on oil. Season the bottom with salt, pepper, oregano etc. Place chicken on top, season, and cover with tomato sauce. Spread fresh basil on top of sauce and then cover with half the cheese. Spread croutons (which have already been toasted/broiled until crispy in the oven) and cover with remainder of cheese. Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes.
*note: thicker chicken breasts will increase cooking time
