Chicken Marinara is an Italian-inspired dish that combines tender, boneless chicken breast with a tangy, flavorful marinara sauce made from tomatoes, garlic, onions, and Italian herbs like basil and oregano. Often served over whole-grain pasta or zucchini noodles, it offers a hearty yet balanced meal. Rich in lean protein from the chicken, it supports muscle health and satiety, while the marinara sauce provides antioxidants like lycopene from the tomatoes, promoting heart health and reducing inflammation. Opting for whole-grain sides can boost fiber intake, aiding digestion. However, depending on preparation, added oils or cheese toppings may increase calorie and fat content, so moderation is key. When crafted with wholesome ingredients, Chicken Marinara is a nutritious, satisfying choice that celebrates the vibrant flavors of Italian cuisine while supporting a balanced diet.
