Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 24 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3½ cups chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce
  • 16 ounces rigatoni pasta uncooked
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley minced, optional for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add the olive oil to a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot (but not smoking), add the chicken and sauté for 5 minutes or until all sides have browned. Keep an eye on your thermometer. If the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165ºF, take it off the heat. (It's okay if it doesn't reach that temperature after 5 minutes, because you're going to boil it anyway. You're mostly just browning the outside for flavor at this point.)
  • Add the chicken broth, garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, marinara sauce, and uncooked rigatoni pasta to the skillet and stir everything together. Make sure all the noodles are covered in liquid.
  • Bring everything in the skillet to a boil, then cover the pan and reduce heat to a low simmer. (Simmer means small bubbles but not a full, rolling boil.) Simmer for 11-13 minutes or until noodles are soft, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Once noodles are cooked, take the pan off the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top and cover until the cheese has melted. Garnish with minced parsley, if desired.
