Scale
- 4 Tbsp. Butter (divided)
- 1 cup Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs
- 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 2 lbs. Chicken Breast tenders (cut into bite sized pieces)
- 1 Tsp. Salt
- 1 Tsp. Pepper
- 11/2Tbsp. Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 Sweet Yellow Onion (diced)
- 1 Tsp. Garlic (minced)
- 5 cups Chicken Broth
- 1 lb. Pasta (your choice)
- 1 24oz. Jar Marinara Sauce
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (divided)
- 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese (divided)
Toppings:
- Grated and Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven on medium heat, melt 3 Tbsp. of butter and then add the breadcrumbs. Stir it into the butter and cook until they are golden brown, then remove onto a bowl and set aside.
- In that same pot, add 1 Tbsp. of butter and olive oil. Then add the chicken and season it with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add the diced onion and sauté it for about two to three minutes until the onion softens. Then add minced garlic and let cook for about a minute to get fragrant.
- To deglaze the bottom of the pot, add ½ cup of chicken broth, then add the pasta and marinara sauce. Stir it to coat the pasta and chicken, then add the remaining chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low, cover, and let it simmer for about 10 -13 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until pasta is al dente, then remove the pot from heat.
- Add ½ cup of shredded mozzarella and ¼ cup of shredded parmesan cheese, and stir it into the pasta to combine. Then sprinkle the Italian breadcrumbs you prepared earlier on top of the pasta, and then add the remaining mozzarella and shredded parmesan cheese. Cover with a lid and let it sit for 5 minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken, and the cheese to melt. Garnish with grated or shredded parmesan cheese and enjoy!
