Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pour olive oil into the bottom of a small, shallow baking dish, then sprinkle chili flakes over the oil.

Set the chicken breast in the prepared dish and season both sides with salt and pepper. Make sure the smooth side of the chicken breast is facing up.
- 3
Spoon marinara sauce over the chicken breast, covering it completely.
- 4
Evenly top the marinara sauce with half the mozzarella and half the Parmesan cheese. Scatter croutons evenly over the cheese, breaking about half to create a mix of piece sizes. If the croutons are very small, leave them whole.
- 5
Evenly cover the croutons with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). The exact time will depend on the size of the chicken breast.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
