Chicken Parmesan Pasta Bake
SERVES: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb uncooked penne pasta
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1 25 oz pasta sauce
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/3 cup bread crumbs
- Avocado oil
- Kosher salt & pepper
- Fresh basil to top
- Parmesan to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook pasta according to package, but subtract 2 minutes from the cooking time (the pasta will cook slightly while it bakes so we don’t want to overcook it).
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cut your chicken into bite size pieces and season with salt & pepper. Add a drizzle of oil to your skillet once it’s hot then add your chicken. Cook for about 2 minutes each side or until cooked through.
- Combine cooked pasta, red sauce, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, and diced cooked chicken in a baking dish. Top with bread crumbsand remaining mozzarella and bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown. Serve with fresh basil and parmesan cheese!
