Meal prep tips for One-Pot Chicken Marinara
- Chicken: We used chicken breast to keep it lean, however, if you prefer dark meat, feel free to use boneless skinless chicken thighs.
- Sweet Potatoes: We used sweet potatoes, however, if you want to use regular potatoes, try them with red baby potaotes to cut your down your prep.
- Vegetables: We paired it with baby kale for extra veggies and nutrients, however, you can use other vegetables such as bell peppers, baby carrots, or even spinach.
- Marinara Sauce: If you don’t have marinara sauce, you can substitute with tomato sauce and just add some italian seasoning.
