Garlic and basil flavor the tomato sauce that coats this tender Chicken Marinara. A friend gave me this skillet recipe several years ago. It's easy to make using pre-sliced mushrooms, commercial pasta sauce and quick-cooking pasta. —Kathleen Williams, St Albans, West Virginia

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 jar (26 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine or chicken broth
  • Hot cooked angel hair pasta or spaghetti

Directions

  1. In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chicken over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°; remove and keep warm.
  2. In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms, garlic, basil and Italian seasoning until mushrooms are tender. Stir in spaghetti sauce and wine. Add chicken; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until heated through. Serve with pasta.
