Arrange the chicken breasts in bottom of the dish and pour marinara sauce over chicken. Sprinkle basil over marinara sauce and top with half the mozzarella cheese followed by half the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle on the croutons then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.
