Chicken Parmesan Pasta
When it comes to cooking dinner, I think a lot of us are in the same place: we’re busy, we’re tired, and we want something healthy that also tastes delicious. Generally, I don’t have more than thirty minutes or so to cook dinner, so I am always on the lookout for tasty meals that I can prepare quickly and easily.
This one pot chicken parmesan pasta fulfills all of my requirements, and tastes fantastic, too! I’m a huge fan of chicken parm and could eat it weekly if I wanted to. I love this recipe because I can enjoy all of the delicious flavors of my favorite dinner but with enough variety to make it not seem like I’m living in the movie Groundhog Day. I made this easy dinner using O Organics® products from Albertsons, and I was really impressed with the quality of ingredients, as well as how affordable they are.
How To Make Chicken Parmesan Pasta
Sauté Chicken – Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cute the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and then sauté them until browned. Add in the sliced baby bella mushrooms, along with the salt and pepper, then cook until tender.
Mix In Sauce & Pasta – Next, I added a delicious tomato basil pasta sauce to the mixture in the skillet. It is seriously so flavorful, and tastes like homemade! Add in the water to the skillet, and stir in the penne pasta until everything is fully mixed. The penne will cook right in the skillet with the other ingredients, which means one less pot to clean!
Cook – Cover the skillet and let the chicken pasta simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. While it’s cooking, the pasta will absorb the liquid and becomes really flavorful.
Final Touches – Remove the pasta from the heat and then stir in some fresh spinach, and add a little sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top. This chicken parmesan pasta is so flavorful your mouth will start to water the minute it’s ready!
Sides Dishes To Serve – Serve this meal with a side of Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Vegetables and a fresh Homemade Dinner Roll to soak up every last bit of flavor and you’ll be all set!
