### Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow bowl, combine gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Take each chicken breast and dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well.
- Arrange the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is baking, warm the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and spoon marinara sauce over each piece. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve hot.
