I had some leftover grilled chicken breast that I really needed to use up and hadn’t done much grocery shopping. This is usually how new recipes evolve-from my lack of ingredients!
Luckily, most of the time, it works out well and I am pleasantly surprised with the results!
This is a super simple weeknight dinner to serve over brown rice or rice pasta. I actually had it on its own for a hearty lunch. Yummy.
Ingredients:
3-6 previously grilled chicken breasts, chopped (I only had 3)
1 jar organic pasta sauce (739ml)
Fresh basil, thyme, and oregano, chopped roughly (lots of it! I ran out, but would have liked to have added more)
1-2 zucchini, sliced into 1/2″ rounds
Soft goats cheese, crumbled (as little or as much as your little heart desires)
Raw pine nuts, just a sprinkle
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Grease a glass casserole dish
- Layer ingredients listed above in the following order:
Chicken
Pasta Sauce
Fresh herbs
Zucchini rounds
Crumbled goat’s cheese and raw pine nuts
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes
5. Switch oven to broil. Broil for about 8 minutes
6. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving
DONE! Super easy and minimal prep, my fave kind of recipe!!!
