Ingredients

  • 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

  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
