We love quick and easy dinner recipes, especially when they’re this flavorful. This amazing chicken, tomato and mushroom bake only took us 30 minutes to throw together, and the family adored it! A few basic ingredients combine to create a light but filling masterpiece.
We baked a layer of chicken tenderloins beneath garlicky mushrooms and onions and ripe tomato wedges and then topped it with a simple balsamic dressing. It’s tender, juicy and full of flavor. We sprinkled ours with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil right before it finished baking to give it even more herby goodness. Serve it with pasta or rice or keep it low carb and serve on a salad. Either way, it’s so easy and so delicious!
