    Baked Chicken With Tomato Sauce Recipe

    What do you do with tomato sauce if you’re not going to put it on pasta? There are all kinds of options, but one of them is to bake chicken in it: the chicken stays tender, and the flavor of the tomatoes penetrates all through the meat. Add a few zucchini to the same pan, and you’ve got dinner all ready to go.

    Baked Chicken With Tomato Sauce

    For the tomato sauce, you could make your own – it’s not that hard if you’re not going for Italian-grandmother levels of authenticity, and it makes the whole house smell great – or go brand-hunting for something reasonably close to Paleo.

    Most stores will have at least one or two brands without a lot of added junk (check the cans if you can’t find it in the bottled sauces), but bear in mind that they probably won’t be the cheapest ones.

    If you want more of a pasta-like experience, you could also serve this over roasted spaghetti squash or any other type of Paleo noodles, but it’s very tasty all on its own and great for an easy lunch or a light dinner.
