A simple and delicious Chicken Mozzarella Bake with tender chicken, mushrooms, and melted mozzarella cheese.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced in half to make into thinner breasts, or 34 thin chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar Primal Kitchen Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning (or 1/2 teaspoon each dried basil, dried parsley and dried oregano)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and add the chicken breasts into a 9×13 casserole dish.
  2. Sprinkle the seasonings over the chicken breasts and rub it in on both sides of the chicken.
  3. Add the mushrooms over the top of the seasoned chicken, and then evenly pour the marinara over top of the mushrooms. You can use a spatula to even out the marinara so it’s covering the chicken and mushrooms.
  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the marinara in an even layer and place the casserole dish into the oven.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, uncovered, or until the chicken is cooked through. Cook time may need to be increased if you’re using thick chicken breasts.

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture.
  • Serve with a side of pasta or salad.
