Description
A rapid and comforting weeknight dinner solution that pairs shredded rotisserie chicken with a robust, garlicky marinara sauce. By eliminating the traditional breading and frying steps, this one-skillet dish remains lightweight and easy to clean up. The chicken absorbs the tomato base perfectly, while a generous layer of melted mozzarella and parmesan creates a golden, bubbly topping that is sure to please the entire family.
Ingredients
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (skin removed)
24 ounces low-sugar tomato basil marinara sauce
1.5 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
0.5 cups aged parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet and stir to combine with the garlic.
Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, stirring until fully coated in the sauce.
Simmer the mixture for 8 minutes to reduce slightly and heat through.
Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses over the chicken mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
Best served alongside warm crusty sourdough bread or a crisp garden salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
