Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
- 12 oz uncooked pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken cubes and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, combine chicken broth and marinara sauce. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Stir in uncooked pasta, cover with a lid, and cook for 10-12 minutes or until pasta is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
- Stir in heavy cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Return cooked chicken to the pot and mix until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, use high-quality cheese and broth. If pasta seems dry, add more chicken broth or cream.
