Chicken Parmesan Pasta Skillet

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This Chicken Parmesan Pasta Skillet brings together everything you love about classic chicken parm — crispy chicken, savory marinara, melted cheese — and makes it a one-pan, weeknight-friendly dinner! It’s comforting, packed with flavor, and ready in under 30 minutes. No need to bread and fry chicken separately — this version is faster, easier, and just as delicious!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 12 oz penne or rotini pasta
  • 2 1/2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 1/2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh chopped basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Stir in the uncooked pasta, marinara sauce, and water (or broth). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for about 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
  3. Step 3: Once the pasta is cooked and sauce has thickened, stir in Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the top.
  4. Step 4: Cover again for 2–3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. You can also broil the skillet for 2–3 minutes for a bubbly golden top (oven-safe skillet only).
  5. Step 5: Garnish with chopped basil or parsley and serve hot.

Servings and Timing

  • Servings: 4–6
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Conclusion

This Chicken Parmesan Pasta Skillet delivers the cheesy, saucy comfort of traditional chicken parm — with none of the hassle. It’s perfect for busy nights when you want something hearty, homemade, and ready fast. Plus, the one-pan method means fewer dishes!

FAQs

Can I use pre-cooked chicken?
Yes! Add cooked chicken during the last 5 minutes of simmering just to heat through.

What pasta works best?
Short pastas like penne, rotini, or rigatoni hold the sauce well and cook evenly in the skillet.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, it reheats well. Just add a splash of broth or water when reheating to loosen the sauce.
