Ingredients:
1 (28 oz) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups water
1 – 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
12 oz pasta
2 oz (about 1 cup) grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 oz (about 1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Preheat the oven to 475 F.
Add the tomatoes to the bowl of your food processor and pulse until
coarsely chopped, about 10 pulses. Set an oven-safe 12-inch skillet over
medium-high heat. Add the oil, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and
salt and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chopped
tomatoes, the water, 1 cup of the chicken broth, and the pasta to the
pan, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a vigorous simmer, then
cover the pan and continue simmering (you may need to reduce the heat
slightly) until the pasta is tender, about 16-18 minutes. Stir the pasta
frequently as it cooks.
Once tender, remove the cover and stir in 3/4 cup of the Parmesan
cheese, the pepper, and the chicken. Season to taste with additional
salt and pepper if necessary. If the mixture seems dry, mix in as much
of the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth as needed to loosen it up. {Note: if you don’t have an oven-safe skillet,
transfer the mixture to a baking dish at this point.} Sprinkle the top
evenly with the mozzarella cheese and the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the
cheese has melted and bubbles around the edges. Garnish with the basil
then serve.
Verdict:
Thumbs up! Our whole family loves chicken parmesan, and we love pasta, so I really wanted to try this recipe which mixed both of those nicely. I think this is a really great, simple meal to throw together. I'll definitely make it again and I recommend it, especially because you can easily tweak it to have different spices, sauces, and noodles.
