Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups marinara sauce
12 oz pasta (penne or rigatoni)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
Sauté the Chicken: Season diced chicken with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook chicken until golden brown. Remove from the pot and set aside.
Sauté Garlic: In the same pot, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add Broth and Pasta: Pour in chicken broth, marinara sauce, and pasta. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil.
Cook the Pasta: Cover and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Add Cheese and Chicken: Return the chicken to the pot. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top, stirring until melted and combined.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
