⏱️ Prep: 16 min
Ingredients
| — | chicken breasts |
| — | salt |
| — | black pepper |
| — | penne pasta (or rigatoni) |
| 1/2 head | onion |
| 2 cloves | garlic |
| — | marinara sauce |
| — | fresh herbs |
| — | fresh mozzarella |
| — | grated parmesan |
Instructions
- Fry chicken breasts cut into cubes with salt and black pepper. Don't cook it fully, so it can finish cooking later in the pan with the sauce.
- Meanwhile boil a portion of penne pasta (normal macaroni) (or rigatoni).
- Fry half a head of onion and 2 cloves of garlic until golden in the same pan with the residual fat from the chicken. Add marinara sauce (straight from the jar). If you want the sauce thinner, add a little hot water from the boiling pasta.
- Put the chicken in the sauce to braise. Add fresh herbs. Let it simmer 7-8 minutes.
- Add fresh mozzarella in small cubes and leave in the sauce until it starts to melt (about 2-3 minutes).
- To serve, place the pasta, then grated parmesan, then the sauce.
