A delightful and comforting bowl of Chicken Parmesan Pasta, combining chicken, marinara, and melted cheese, perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  3. Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
  4. Combine chicken and marinara: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet. Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken and stir to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
  5. Mix pasta and sauce: Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the sauce and chicken mixture.
  6. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt for about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve and garnish: Once the cheese has melted, serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.

Notes

For best flavor, use high-quality marinara sauce. Leftover chicken can also be used for a faster meal.
