Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts diced into bite sized pieces
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 medium yellow onion minced
3 cloves garlic minced
16 oz dried short-cut pasta I used rigatoni
24 oz jar of your favorite marinara sauce I used Newman's Own
water to fill empty marinara sauce jar
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
additional dried Italian seasoning optional
fresh parsley and/or basil minced for garnish

Method

To a large pot or skillet (I used my dutch oven), add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Cook about 5 minutes, until chicken is most of the way cooked through. Remove to a plate.
Add onion and garlic to the pot and cook about 2-3 minutes, until soft. Pour in marinara sauce, fill up empty sauce jar with water and add to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a strong simmer.
Add chicken and pasta, stir, then cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, until pasta is cooked to your liking. Stir in parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese on top of the dish and cook another 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted and gooey.
Sprinkle with additional Italian seasoning if desired, and garnish with parsley or basil.
