Chicken Parmesan Pasta Skillet

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Chicken Parmesan Pasta Skillet is made with ground chicken instead of chicken breast. It’s so simple and makes the perfect weeknight meal!

Easy Dinner Recipe in Under 30 Minutes

We love those dishes that come together quickly but still pack a punch in the flavor department. That is this dish. Most chicken parmesan dishes are made with a breaded chicken breast; this recipe is made with ground chicken. Ground chicken adds a slightly different texture, and we love it. This dish is a twist on an old favorite that we make frequently. It’s so simple and delicious! Speaking of delicious dinners….here are five more we have on repeat!

KEY INGREDIENTS

  • Bowtie pasta
  • Olive oil
  • chopped onion
  • Minced garlic 
  • Ground chicken
  • Marinara sauce
  • Shredded mozzarella
  • Shredded Parmesan
  • Ricotta cheese

SWAPS

-You could easily use any type of pasta and cheese you like in this recipe. Feel free to add any additional spices or herbs, too.

What to Serve It With

We love pasta bakes because basically it’s a meal in one dish! However, you may want to add a delicious salad or bread to go along with this dish. These creamed cucumbers or garlic brussels would be great. If you need a bread option, add our cheesy Hawaiian rolls or our garlic quick bread.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces of Bowtie pasta
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 cup of chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 cups of marinara sauce
  • 1 cup of shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup of shredded parmesan
  • 3/4 cup of ricotta cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cook the bowtie pasta according to the box directions. Drain. While the pasta is cooking, heat an oven-safe skillet over medium/high heat. Add olive oil to coat the pan, and then cook onions and minced garlic for about 5 minutes. Add in ground chicken and cook through. This will take around 10 minutes.
  • Next, add pasta, sauce, and parmesan to the skillet and stir to combine with the chicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the mozzarella, and then drop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese on top.
  • Place in oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted. Can garnish with fresh or dried Italian herbs. Serve warm.
