Chicken Parmesan Pasta Skillet
Chicken Parmesan Pasta Skillet combines the classic flavors of chicken parmesan with pasta in a quick, one-pan meal that's perfect for weeknight dinners. Enjoy the rich tomato sauce, tender chicken, hearty pasta, and melty cheese in every bite.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces penne pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts diced into 1/2 inch pieces (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (24-ounce) jar of marinara sauce 3 cups
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Cook the pasta to just al dente, according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
- Add the Mariana, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, cooked pasta, and reserved pasta water to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle the mozzarella over the top, cover, and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- While this dish can be frozen, the texture of the pasta may change slightly upon thawing. To freeze, transfer cooled portions to a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag. Press out any excess air, seal tightly, and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
