- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- Pour the spaghetti sauce over the chicken breasts, covering them completely.
- Bake the chicken breasts for approximately 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the juices run clear.
- Remove the chicken from the oven.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. You may add mozzarella cheese if you like.
- To brown the cheese, turn your oven to broil and broil until the cheese turns brown. This may only take a minute or two.
