This recipe is perfect for a delicious and satisfying lunch or dinner throughout the week. It’s easy to make in bulk and portion out for meal prep.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup marinara sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1 ½ tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces sliced pepperoni (optional)
- 2 cups steamed broccoli florets (or other preferred vegetables)
Cooking Guide:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Pound the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness of about ½ inch. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the prepared baking sheet. Place the chicken breasts on top of the sauce.
- Sprinkle the chicken with the dry herb mixture.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top the chicken with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni (if using).
- Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the chicken is baking, steam your broccoli florets or prepare your preferred side vegetables.
Tips:
- For a low-carb option, skip the breading and use thinly sliced zucchini or eggplant instead of chicken breasts.
- To add more protein, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- Get creative with your toppings! Try adding sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, or chopped onions.
- Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
- Prepare the broccoli or other vegetables ahead of time to save time during meal prep. You can also use frozen vegetables for convenience.
