Preparation
Step 1
•Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and oregano. Place the bread pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil mixture, toss to coat evenly. Transfer to a baking sheet in a single layer and bake, turning halfway through baking, until golden and dry, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
•To assemble, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Spread 1 cup of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-12-inch baking dish. Top with the chicken in a single layer and spoon over 2 cups of sauce; bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with half of the cheese, croutons and the remaining cheese; bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes. Serve topped with basil and marinara alongside.
