Calories: 348kcal
Ingredients
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Italian dressing
- 1¼ cup marinara sauce (divided)
- 1½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 turkey pepperonis optional topping
- 1 green bell pepper (diced) - optional topping
- 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced olives (drained) - optional topping
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in a resealable gallon-sized bag and pour the Italian dressing on top. Seal the bag, removing as much of the air as possible. (If desired, place bag in a bread loaf pan to ensure chicken is fully submerged in marinade.)
- Place pan in fridge and marinate for at least 1 hour (or up to 12 hours).
- When finished marinating, spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of the pan.
- Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and place in pan.
- Top chicken with remaining marinara sauce and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Remove chicken from oven and top with cheese and toppings of choice.
- Place chicken back in oven and bake for about 10-15 more minutes or until chicken is no longer pink on the inside and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
