Cut up 2-3 boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

Season chicken with salt and black pepper; add to the pot and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

Remove chicken from the pot and set aside on a plate.

Add 1 chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves to the pot; cook until onions are clear, about 3 minutes.

Pour in 24 ounces of marinara sauce and vegetable broth until the pot is full.

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Add 16 ounces of penne pasta to the pot; cover and reduce heat, cooking for 10-15 minutes, checking occasionally.

Once pasta is cooked al dente, stir in 1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan and 1 cup mozzarella cheese; add 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and salt to taste.

Top with toasted breadcrumbs and more cheese, if desired; let sit for 3-5 minutes to melt cheese.
