Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups uncooked penne pasta
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is golden brown on all sides.
- Add the uncooked penne pasta, marinara sauce, and chicken broth to the pot.
- Stir everything together to ensure the pasta is submerged in liquid.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Check the pasta for doneness. It should be tender but not mushy.
- Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top and cover the pot again. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
