Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a high walled skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the chicken and let it cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes to allow the first side to brown. Flip them to the other side and continue to cook until golden brown on both sides. Set the chicken aside.
- Add the chicken broth to the pan, scraping up any brown bits of chicken from the bottom. This will flavor the sauce. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the marinara sauce and stir in the cream cheese until combined. Add in the red pepper flakes and bring the sauce to a boil.
- Add the penne. Cover partially and let it cook through according to package instructions. Run a spatula along the bottom of the pot a few times to prevent the pasta from settling.
- Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked chicken and mozzarella to the pasta dish and stir gently until the mozzarella is warm and melted. Top with the finely cut basil leaves, and serve!
Notes
