Easy One Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta Recipe | Quick & Cheesy Dinner


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 cups marinara sauce

  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth

  • 2 cups uncooked penne or rotini pasta

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Optional: fresh basil or parsley for garnish


Instructions

Sauté Chicken:
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Sauté Garlic:
In the same pot, reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add Sauce, Broth & Pasta:
Stir in marinara sauce, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and uncooked pasta. Bring to a boil.

Simmer:
Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and sauce is slightly thickened.

Finish the Dish:
Return chicken to the pot. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until melted and combined.

 

Serve:
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve hot and enjoy this cheesy, comforting twist on a classic chicken parm—no oven required!
