This one pot chicken parmesan pasta is easy, delicious and one of my go-to dinner recipes! It has all the classic and comforting flavors of chicken parm but in a one-pan pasta dish.
Drizzle olive oil in a large skillet or dutch oven pot. Heat over medium high heat. Then add the chicken in an even layer. Sprinkle the salt, pepper and Italian seasoning over top. After 3-4 minutes, flip the chicken and cook an additional 2 minutes or until cooked through. Remove chicken and set on a plate. Cover and set aside.
Add more oil to the pot if needed and then add in the onion. Cook about 2 minutes and then add in the garlic. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes or until onions are translucent.
Pour the marinara and water into the pot. Bring to a light boil and then reduce the heat to medium. Add in the pasta. Stir and then cover with a lid and cook for about 12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through. Stir once or twice.
Add the chicken back into the pot. Stir in the parmesan cheese and 1/3 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.
Finally, add the remainder of the mozzarella cheese on top. Place the lid on and cook an additional 2 minutes over low, or until the cheese is melted. You could also put under the broiler for a minute if desired. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil, if desired. Serve while warm.
