Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts, diced up
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 12 oz penne or rotini noodles
- 1 cup marinara sauce your favorite marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 a sprinkle of salt and pepper however you like
- optional fresh basil leaves, chopped up for topping
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat up the olive oil in a big pot over medium heat, then toss in the diced chicken, Italian herbs, chopped garlic, and a bit of salt and pepper. Cook it through, stirring occasionally, until there's no pink left—about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the marinara sauce and penne to the pot, then pour in your chicken stock. Turn the heat down low once it starts to bubble.
- Let the pasta and sauce bubble away with a lid on the pot, giving it a stir every now and then for about 12 to 15 minutes, until the noodles are tender and not much liquid’s left.
- With the stove off, throw in all the mozzarella and Parmesan. Stir until it’s gooey and blended in.
- Right before serving, toss some basil on top for a fresh kick. Dish it up while it’s hot and enjoy!
Notes
One-Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta can be served with a crisp green salad and garlic bread on the side. For extra flavor, consider a drizzle of balsamic reduction over the salad or steamed vegetables.
