Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 16 ounces short pasta noodles such as penne, ziti, or cellentani
- 30 ounce jar of your favorite marinara sauce
- 3 cups water
- 1 ⅓ cups shredded Mozzarella cheese divided
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ cup Italian style breadcrumbs or regular bread crumbs + 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- optional: fresh parsley, basil, or thyme for garnish
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste, uncooked pasta noodles, and chicken and give it a good stir.
- Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until pasta is tender. Stir in parmesan cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese until melted.
- While pasta is cooking, combine butter and breadcrumbs in a bowl and stir to coat.
- 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.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and cracked black pepper if desired and serve.
