Heart Healthy Baked Mozzarella Chicken in Tomato Sauce

This Heart Healthy Baked Mozzarella Chicken in Tomato Sauce recipe is a no fuss meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights, yet fancy enough for date night or gatherings with friends. With just four ingredients and a few spices, you get a delicious meal that bakes up in just one pan in the oven. This dish seriously takes boring old baked chicken to a new level and we’re certain you’ll love all of the bold flavors that this recipe delivers. We love pairing this chicken with spaghetti noodles topped with homemade low sodium marinara, with a side of our homemade lower sodium, lower carb mozzarella sticks, but if you’re watching your carbs or want to skip heavy pastas, this chicken pairs beautiful with a side of broccoli and a salad.

Equally as important as the flavor of this dish, is the simplicity and minimal cleanup for this one pot recipe. Simply spray the bottom of your pan with cooking oil, place the bone-in chicken breasts, skin removed, into the bottom of the pan, cover with no salt added tomato sauce and a can of No Salt Added Ro*tel®. Place your pan in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, remove from the oven, sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese, bake another 10 minutes, and you’re done. Simple and delicious!
