  • 2 cups jarred marinara sauce Your favorite brand
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 tablespoon Italian herbs Optional, for additional flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Chop the rotisserie chicken and place it in a baking dish.
  3. Pour the jarred marinara sauce over the chicken, mixing to combine.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top of the sauce, ensuring it's well-covered.
  5. Evenly distribute the buttery panko or crushed croutons on top.
  6. If desired, add a sprinkle of Italian herbs over the top.
Baking

Notes

For a crispier topping, you can broil for another 2 minutes at the end of baking. Pair it with a green vegetable or salad for a complete meal. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
