50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs raw boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 22 oz marinara/pasta sauce (I love Rao’s!)
  • 1 ½ cups 2% reduced fat shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 2 oz Parmesan cheese, freshly grated, divided
  • 5 oz garlic croutons, roughly crushed, leaving some larger pieces
  • 1 lb fresh green beans (side)

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly mist a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Spread the cubed pieces of chicken across the bottom of the baking dish in a single layer. Sprinkle the minced garlic and basil evenly over the chicken. Spread the sauce evenly across the top. On top of the sauce layer, sprinkle ¾ cup of the Mozzarella and one ounce of the Parmesan evenly across the dish.
  3. Sprinkle the crushed croutons across the top and follow with the remaining cheese.
  4. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
