Description

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Italian dressing (not the creamy kind)
• 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
• 16 ounces small/medium sized penne pasta
• 1 24-ounce jar of your favorite Alfredo sauce (Or you can make your own. Here is a recipe that I love to use. If making your own, use 3 cups homemade sauce)
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 cups sun dried tomatoes (optional)***
• fresh chopped parsley as garnish
• ***other add ins that would be great include steamed broccoli, peas, roma tomatoes, red peppers, or your favorite veggies!

Directions

• Heat chicken and Italian dressing in a large 12 inch skillet over medium high heat (If you dont own a large skillet, you can use a stock pot). Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook chicken until browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes depending on thickness of chicken.
• Add the box of pasta and the entire jar of alfredo (or 3 cups of homemade alfredo). Fill the empty marinara jar with water and add to the skillet. If using a stockpot, use 2 cups water. Add the salt and pepper to taste and the dried oregano. Lightly stir the mixture to combine.
• Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until pasta is tender to your liking. ***
• Stir in the sun dried tomatoes.
• Cover with grated parmesan and then shredded mozzarella. No need to stir. Continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes or until cheese is fully melted. You can also broil the entire skillet for about 4 minutes to make the cheese extra melty!
• Top with chopped parsley and serve! Enjoy!
• ***The pasta in the middle of the skillet and underneath will be more tender than the outside pasta. Its okay if those pieces are a bit toastier and less soft. The inside will be plenty soft.
