Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (or 350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket.
Stuff each chicken breast with basil leaves and mozzarella slices, then secure the opening with toothpicks.
Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts on each side until golden brown.
Pour marinara sauce over the chicken breasts and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
For the garlic bread, mix butter, garlic, parsley, and oregano in a bowl.
Spread the garlic butter mixture over the bread slices and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the bread in the oven alongside the chicken for 10 minutes or until crispy and golden.
Remove toothpicks from the chicken, serve with herb-crusted garlic bread, and enjoy.
