If you want a weekday meal that you can make in 30 minutes or less with less than five ingredients, this is for you. Take either chicken breast, chicken thighs, or chicken tenders, sprinkle them with Italian seasoning, a little bit of good quality sea salt, and find the best quality organic marinara sauce that you can find. Pour it on top, sprinkle it with parmesan cheese or any cheese that you want to grate, and stick it in the oven covered for 25 minutes. Remove the lid. It lasts 5 minutes and then brown it on the top. Serve this with your favorite vegetable and you got your protein, fiber, and healthy fat in this dish. And it could be made ahead. Amazing for your family and for company. Look in the description for my protein guide where I share my recipes and teach you how to increase the protein in your diet.
