Shortcut recipe using high quality jarred marinara and frozen breaded chicken breasts. Saves time and everyone loves it! Bake in the oven, or the air fryer.

Instructions
Cook chicken pieces according to package instructions in either the oven or the air fryer. Tip: If using the oven, convection mode will achieve extra crispy pieces.
When chicken is fully cooked, remove from oven and top each piece with about 2 tablespoons shredded cheese, followed by a couple spoonfuls of marinara. Depending on the size of your chicken pieces, this could be anywhere from 2-4 tablespoons.
Top with an additional 2 tablespoons cheese, or more if desired.
Return pan to oven for 1-2 minutes, just until sauce is heated through and cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
Notes
Check your grocer for breaded chicken breasts. My two favorites are brands I purchase in the frozen foods aisle of Costco. We like both the Tyson Panko Breaded Chicken Tenderloins and also the Just Bare brand Chicken Filets.
