Ingredients – Here’s What You’ll Need
Steps to Make One-Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta
- In a large pot or skillet (I like to use my large Le Creuset Braiser), add three tablespoons of unsalted butter and heat over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken breasts, one teaspoon of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, Kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to combine everything and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Add the freshly minced garlic and stir into the cooked chicken. Cook for about a minute, stirring constantly, until the garlic becomes fragrant. Then, add the tomato sauce and remaining Italian seasoning and stir to combine everything.
- Add the water, stir to combine, increase the temperature to high, and bring to a simmer.
- Add the pasta and bring back to a simmer. Place the lid on the pot, reduce the temperature to medium-low, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add two ounces of freshly grated mozzarella cheese and four ounces of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Stir the cheeses into the pasta until it melts and is fully incorporated into the sauce. Then, replace the lid on the pot and cook for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the remaining six ounces of mozzarella cheese on top. Then replace the lid and heat for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is warm and gooey.
- Top with a few leaves of fresh basil and serve immediately.
