Ingredients
- 3 tbs Unsalted Butter
- 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts cubed
- 1 tbs Italian Seasoning divided
- 1 teaspoon Galic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic freshly minced
- 24 oz Tomato Sauce
- 24 oz Water
- 1 lb Dry Pasta such as ziti, rotini, farfalle, or penne
- 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese freshly shredded, divided
- 4 oz Parmesan Cheese freshly shredded
- Basil Leaves optional for garnish
Instructions
- Add three tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large pot or skillet 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, stirring to combine everything. Add the water, stirring to combine, and 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 and 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 melted and 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 freshly basil and serve immediately.
- Yield 6 servings.
