Variations & Tips
This recipe is wonderfully adaptable to different tastes and dietary needs. For a lighter version, you can use low-fat cheese and increase the amount of marinara sauce for a dish with more sauce without the added calories. If you like it a little spicier, you can add a spicy kick with chili flakes or diced jalapeños. To make this dish gluten-free, make sure your marinara sauce and chicken broth are certified gluten-free. You can also vary the herbs and use a blend of parsley, oregano, or thyme for different flavors.
