parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch.

In a pan, add Italian dressing and sauté the chicken until browned (not fully cooked).

Add rigatoni pasta on top of the browned chicken.

Pour in a regular-sized jar of jarred pasta sauce over the pasta.

Add 3 cups of chicken broth to the pan and stir.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover with a lid.

Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the pasta is done, stirring occasionally.

Check the pasta for doneness; it should absorb most of the broth.

Once cooked, stir in mozzarella and parmesan cheese until melted and combined.

Add more cheese on top for effect (optional).

Serve the chicken parmesan pasta, adding extra parmesan cheese and basil on top before serving.
