Chicken Parmesan Pasta

Chicken Parmesan Pasta is a delightful fusion of tender chicken, gluten-free pasta, and rich marinara sauce, topped with melted cheese for a comforting meal. This dish brings classic Italian flavors to your table while being completely gluten-free.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free pasta - 200 grams
• Chicken breast - 250 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Marinara sauce - 200 grams
• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Fresh basil - a handful, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gluten-free pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. In the same skillet, add the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated in the sauce.
5. Slice the cooked chicken and gently mix it into the pasta and sauce mixture.
6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Cover the skillet and let it cook on low heat for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh basil.
