Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 2 cups penne or rotini pasta

– 4 cups chicken broth

Instructions
Creating One Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add Broth and Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and marinara sauce. Stir to combine.
5. Add Pasta: Add the pasta to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
6. Cook Pasta: Simmer for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7. Add Cheese: Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
8. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh basil, if desired, and serve hot.
These simple steps will guide you in creating a delightful dish that guarantees satisfaction.
