Pat the chicken breast fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the cheese mixture.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
