Pesto Chicken Marinara

This one is a personal favorite, it is full of flavor and on the healthy side.

for the chicken:
1 chicken breast
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp Mediterranean basil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 Tbl humus
2 Tbl pesto sauce
1 Tbl olive oil
1.5 cup of garlic marinara sauce
small amount of Pecorino Romano cheese, or Parmagianno Regiano, or a combination. for garnish.

in a freezer bag add ingredients from (poultry seasoning-pesto) then add the chicken breasts and thoroughly cover them with the ingredients in the bag. then in a skillet over medium-high heat add the olive oil and cook the chicken breast on both sides for 7 minutes per side, then add the tomato sauce and let it simmer with the chicken for another 7 minutes or until done. then plate and garnish with cheese.

i added a simple spinach salad under the chicken just to get the greens in.
