Notes
Chicken: If you happen to have leftover chicken, it will work great for this recipe. Rotisserie or canned chicken can be used, too. I like to keep cooked chicken in the freezer so it's ready to use for recipes like this. Try poached chicken or roasted chicken breast. Be sure to mince or shred it finely so it fits well in the mushroom caps.
Lower sodium: Use low sodium marinara sauce to reduce sodium count, or make your own sauce.
Increase yield: It's easy to double or triple this recipe. Simply click on the 2X or 3X buttons on the recipe card for amounts.
Use a different meat: If you want, substitute browned ground beef or Italian sausage for the chicken. It won't be chicken Parm but it will still be delicious!
