Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil divided
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 2/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese divided
- 1 medium yellow onion minced
- 4-6 cloves garlic minced
- 14 oz jar marinara sauce
- 8 oz Short dry pasta GF if needed
- fresh basil chopped to garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chopped chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the pieces to the skillet and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown.
- Add ⅓ cup of Parmesan cheese and cook for 1 minute more, or until the cheese is melted over the chicken. Set aside.
- To the same preheated skillet, add the remaining oil, onion, and garlic. Cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the onion softens. Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot with salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook following the package instructions. Reserve ¼ cup of the pasta water, then drain.
- Return the chicken to the sauce together with the pasta and reserved pasta water. Toss well to combine.
- Serve immediately with remaining Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil.
Notes
- Pasta: use any pasta of choice that suits your dietary needs. For healthier pasta options, use lentil or chickpea pasta.
- Chicken: we always prefer chicken breast over chicken thighs since they are leaner. But if you prefer using boneless chicken thighs that's fine.
- Marinara sauce: you may use your favorite brand or make your own sauce at home. We have a homemade marinara sauce you can check out.
- Parmesan cheese: Try shredding your own parmesan cheese for the best flavor possible. Store-bought is fine.
- Oil: we used olive oil, but any oil of choice works.
