My mom is the most amazing cook. She does not study culinary, nor she is a professional chef, but she makes everything delicious! One of my favourite dishes she makes is this easy mozzarella chicken with marinara sauce and mushrooms. It is super easy and quick to throw together using only mushrooms, chicken breasts, mozzarella, Italian seasoning, and marinara sauce. The best part is this is made in a single pan!
Chicken and mozzarella make a superb combination! The juicy, tender chicken smothered in marinara sauce with melted Mozzarella cheese on top is to die for. This dish is bursting with flavour, and anyone can whip this up in under an hour. If you want to whip up a simple and quick meal for busy days, this mozzarella chicken with marinara sauce and mushrooms would your go-to. Once your family tastes this, I am pretty sure that this will immediately become a part of your favourite menu list!
