A quick and easy chicken parmesan pasta recipe made in one skillet, perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound pasta (penne, rotini, or your favorite shape)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Toss chicken pieces with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add pasta and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until pasta is almost al dente, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in crushed tomatoes and cooked chicken.
  5. Top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Transfer skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, use whole wheat pasta.
  • Add a side salad for a complete meal.
  • This recipe is easily adaptable to your favorite pasta shapes.
