- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, flipping once halfway through.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread approximately 1/4 cup of sugar-free marinara sauce on top of each chicken breast.
- Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
