One-Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta (Print Version)

Creamy and super easy one-pot chicken pasta with smoky marinara, melty mozzarella, and sharp Parmesan. Whip it up fast in only 35 minutes.

# Ingredients:

01 - Fresh basil leaves, chopped up for topping (optional)
02 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
03 - 1 cup grated Parmesan
04 - 1 cup your favorite marinara sauce
05 - 12 oz penne or rotini noodles
06 - 4 cups chicken stock
07 - A sprinkle of salt and pepper, however you like
08 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
09 - 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
11 - 1 pound of chicken breasts, diced up

# Instructions:

01 - Right before diving in, toss some basil on top for a fresh kick. Dish it up while it’s hot and enjoy that melty cheese vibe.
02 - With the stove off, throw in all the mozzarella and Parmesan. Stir until it’s gooey and blended in.
03 - Let the pasta and sauce bubble away with a lid on the pot, giving it a stir every now and then for about 12 to 15 minutes, until the noodles are tender and not much liquid’s left.
04 - Add the marinara sauce and penne to the pot, then pour in your chicken stock. Turn the heat down low once it starts to bubble.
05 - Heat up the olive oil in a big pot over medium heat, then toss in the diced chicken, Italian herbs, chopped garlic, and a bit of salt and pepper. Cook it through, stirring now and then, so there’s no pink left—about 5 to 7 minutes.
