Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 1 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Place the chicken breasts directly into a casserole dish, evenly spaced.
  • Sprinkle the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning and salt, ensuring even distribution.
  • Layer the sliced mushrooms over the seasoned chicken.
  • Evenly pour the marinara sauce over the chicken and mushrooms.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top.
  • Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Broil for a few minutes for a bubbly, golden top.

Notes

Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature to retain the cheesy texture.
