Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Add chicken, season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook until lightly browned, about 5–6 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth and marinara sauce, stirring to combine.
Add uncooked pasta and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and liquid is reduced slightly.
Stir in half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top, cover, and let melt for 2–3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

Add red pepper flakes for heat.

Stir in spinach or zucchini for extra veggies.

Use cooked ground turkey or meatballs instead of chicken.

Substitute broth with water and a bouillon cube if needed.

Broil for a crispy cheese topping.
