Creamy Mozzarella Chicken | Ragu Cheese Creations

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

I don’t know about you but I am still dragging from last week’s change to Daylight Saving Time, I need a nap!  This week’s feature is another non-Crock Pot dish, but that doesn’t mean I’ve abandoned them, as a matter of fact one of them is home cooking dinner right now.

This Creamy Mozzarella Chicken features Ragu Cheese Creations Sauce

Creamy Mozzarella Chicken

and the recipe is on the back of the jar.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless chicken breast – I used 2 packs of tenderloins
  • 1 jar Ragu Cheese Creations Creamy Mozzarella Sauce, divided
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned dry bread crumps
  • 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. basil leaves / Italian seasoning

Creamy Mozzarella Chicken

Pour 1/2 cup of Mozzarella sauce into a bowl ~ coat chicken with sauce and then with dry bread crumbs.

Coat chicken with sauce and bread crumbs

 

Place coated chicken into 13×9 baking pan, spray with cooking spray for easier cleanup.  Bake in preheated oven 450 degrees for approximately 15 minutes.

Add remaining sauce

Spoon remaining sauce around chicken in the pan, bake another 5 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly done.

I cooked a package of Knorr Pasta Sides for chicken which complimented this dish perfectly as would a side of mac n cheese!

It  was a crazy Monday morning and I forgot to stir all the ingredients so it didn’t look like the picture and it cooked for 10 hours instead of 8.  However, this Indian influenced recipe was a good and satisfying meal.
