Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease baking dish with olive oil.
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
Arrange the chicken fritters in a single layer over the sauce.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the chicken fritters.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses over the top of the sauce-covered fritters.
If using, scatter the chopped fresh basil leaves over the cheese.
In a small bowl, combine the Italian breadcrumbs, olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese-topped fritters.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Let the crispy Chicken Fritters Parmesan Bake cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil leaves if desired, and alongside your favorite pasta or a fresh green salad.
