Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic you can also use three fresh cloves for 1 tablespoon garlic
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast cubed into one inch pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning divided
- 3 cups low sodium chicken broth 3 cups is 24 ounces
- 3 cups marinara 3 cups is 24 ounces
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 16 ounces penne pasta
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- On a cutting board with a large knife cube the chicken breast into about one inch cubes.
- Add the oil to a large dutch oven or 5-7 quart skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic and sautee quickly until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Place the chicken in the pan. Season with one teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes until it is no longer pink on the outside and just beginning to brown.
- To the pot add the chicken broth, marinara sauce, balsamic vinegar and the remaining teaspoon of Italian seasoning, mixing gently.
- Add the penne pasta to the pot and gently push it under the liquid. Turn up the heat and bring the liquid to a boil, then turn the heat down to simmer and cover the pot. Cook the pasta and chicken mixture for 13-15 minutes or until the pasta is tender, stirring it about every five minutes.
- Once the pasta is tender, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese over top of the pot. Turn the heat to low and cover the pot for an additional 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese. Then serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Optional Bread Crumb Topping
- I don't always add this topping, but it does make the pasta taste a little more like the fried version of chicken parmesan.
- Mix together 1 cup of breadcrumbs (Italian, plain or panko bread crumbs) with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of parsley. In a seperate bowl melt two tablespoons of butter. Mix together the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over top of the dish evenly before serving and enjoy!
