Chicken tenders need no preparation at all, so they are super easy to make in this simple one-pan dinner recipe.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (1 pound) package baby carrots
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar pasta sauce
  • 2 (1 pound) packages chicken tenders
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded CoJack cheese

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat olive oil in large skillet; cook carrots, onions, and mushrooms until crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes. Place 1/2 cup pasta sauce in 13"x9" glass baking dish. Top with chicken tenders and vegetables. Pour remaining pasta sauce over all.

Bake, covered, at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked and vegetables are almost tender. Uncover, sprinkle with cheese, return to oven, and bake for 5-10 minutes longer until cheese melts. Serve over hot cooked rice or couscous. Serves 8
