Instructions

In a large pot (I love to use my dutch oven) over medium heat add olive oil, bite sized chicken pieces, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and garlic salt. Stir to combine. Cook until chicken is most of the way cooked through.
2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 chicken breasts, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Add onion and garlic paste. Stir to combine. Let cook for 5-7 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent.
1 medium yellow onion, 1 tablespoon garlic paste
Pour in pasta sauce and chicken broth. Add rigatoni pasta. Stir to combine. Cover and let cook on a low simmer for 12-14 minutes, or until pasta is done.

Add 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and stir. Top the pasta with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, cover and let melt. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve!

Notes

Storage:

IN THE FRIDGE: Once the dish is cooked, let it cool to room temperature before storing. Transfer the Chicken Parmesan Pasta to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. Ensure it is well-sealed to maintain the best flavor and prevent it from drying out.

IN THE FREEZER: To freeze, let the pasta cool completely. Place it in a freezer-safe container or a heavy-duty freezer bag, ensuring as much air as possible is removed. This dish can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

REHEATING: To reheat, you can use the microwave or oven. For the microwave, transfer a portion to a microwave-safe dish and heat in 1-2 minute increments until warmed through, stirring occasionally. For oven reheating, preheat the oven to 350°F, place the pasta in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. For a crispy top, remove the foil during the last few minutes.
