About Chicken in marinara sauce

Chicken in Marinara Sauce is a flavorful and hearty dish rooted in Italian cuisine. It features tender chicken breasts simmered in a robust tomato-based marinara sauce, seasoned with garlic, onions, basil, oregano, and olive oil. Some variations may include additional vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra nutrition. This dish is a good source of lean protein from the chicken, while the tomato sauce provides vitamins A, C, and antioxidants like lycopene that support immunity and overall health. Olive oil adds heart-healthy fats, though portion control is key to avoid excess calories. Often served with pasta, rice, or vegetables, this dish can be tailored to fit a balanced diet but may have notable sodium levels depending on the type of marinara sauce used. For a healthier option, consider using fresh ingredients and low-sodium marinara to maximize its nutritional value.
