This sauce can be served underneath or on top of the stuffed chicken, adding moisture and rich flavor.
Serving and Final Touches
Once baked, let the chicken rest briefly before removing toothpicks or strings. Serve the stuffed chicken slices topped with the warm marinara sauce, and optionally sprinkle with additional shredded mozzarella or herbs.
This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, zucchini, or a fresh side salad. Its flavors are reminiscent of classic stuffed shells but lean towards a healthy, high-protein meal.
