Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
24 oz marinara sauce (no sugar added preferred)
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 large egg whites
0.5 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
Cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, half of the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and egg whites.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the chicken to ensure even coverage.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the top, and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in the oven or microwave until heated through. Use low-sodium marinara if managing daily salt intake.
