Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 chicken breasts
2 cups bottled low-fat marinara sauce
4 ounces sliced part-skim mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
4 cups cooked pasta, any type

Steps:

  • Fillet chicken breasts by slicing them in half horizontally.
  • Pound the thicker part of each fillet, if desired, to even the thickness of the breast, resulting in more tender chicken.
  • Sprinkle both sides of fillets with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste.
  • Heat a large skillet on medium heat, and when hot, spray skillet with fat-free cooking spray.
  • Brown fillets by cooking in skillet for 2 minutes per side. You may have to do this in batches.
  • Add the marinara sauce to the skillet, cover, and finish chicken in the sauce until cooked through. Stir every couple of minutes.
  • Top the chicken with mozzarella cheese, using only 1 oz of cheese per serving of chicken. Cover skillet and cook until cheese is melted.
  • Top one cup of pasta with 1/2 cup of marinara sauce and 2 fillets of chicken.
