In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain check here

Marinara Sauce - My favorite marinara sauce is always Rao’s because it has all clean ingredients on the back of the ingredients list 

Chicken Breasts - They’re lean and quick-cooking and always come out juicy and tender. Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure that the chicken is not over cooked. 

Olive Oil  - I like to use Simply Nature Organic Olive oil from Aldi 

Greek Oregano - Dried or fresh is fine 

Garlic Powder  - or freshly minced garlic

Cheese - Use whatever type of cheese you have on hand. In the pictures shown there is cheddar but mozzarella cheese can be subbed. 

Mini Pepperoni - Use whole pepperonis if mini pepperonis can’t be found
