Instructions

  1. In a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle with olive oil, then add chicken pieces. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the chicken. Stir over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. (Chicken will not be completely cooked through at this point) Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  2. Add garlic to the pan and saute for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in marinara sauce and water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a high simmer.
  3. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste, uncooked pasta noodles, and chicken and give it a good stir.
  4. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until pasta is tender. Stir in parmesan cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese until melted.
  5. While pasta is cooking, combine butter and breadcrumbs in a bowl and stir to coat.
  6. Top pasta with remaining mozzarella cheese and cover until melted. Sprinkle with breadcrumb, transfer to oven and broil for 1-2 minutes until breadcrumbs are toasted. *If you are not using an oven-safe pot or skillet, you can toast the breadcrumbs in a pan over medium heat, stirring throughout, for 3-4 minutes before sprinkling over pasta.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs and cracked black pepper if desired and serve.

Notes

  • Flavor tip: With the other cheese, stir in 4 ounces softened cream cheese for an extra-rich and delicious pasta!
