ONE POT CHICKEN ALFREDO SKILLET

ONE POT CHICKEN ALFREDO SKILLET 2 tablespoons Italian dressing (not the creamy kind) 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes 16 ounces small/medium sized penne pasta 1 24-ounce jar of your favorite Alfredo sauce (Or you can make your own. Here is a recipe that I love to use. If making your own, use 3 cups homemade sauce) 1 tablespoon dried oregano salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 1/2 cups sun dried tomatoes (optional)*** fresh chopped parsley as garnish ***other add ins that would be great include steamed broccoli, peas, roma tomatoes, red peppers, or your favorite veggies! Heat chicken and Italian dressing in a large 12 inch skillet over medium high heat (If you don't own a large skillet, you can use a stock pot). Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Cook chicken until browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes depending on thickness of chicken. Add the box of pasta and the entire jar of alfredo (or 3 cups of homemade alfredo). Fill the empty marinara jar with water and add to the skillet. If using a stockpot, use 2 cups water. Add the salt and pepper to taste and the dried oregano. Lightly stir the mixture to combine. Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until pasta is tender to your liking. *** Stir in the sun dried tomatoes. Cover with grated parmesan and then shredded mozzarella. No need to stir. Continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes or until cheese is fully melted. You can also broil the entire skillet for about 4 minutes to make the cheese extra melty! Top with chopped parsley and serve! Enjoy! ***The pasta in the middle of the skillet and underneath will be more tender than the outside pasta. It's okay if those pieces are a bit toastier and less soft. The inside will be plenty soft.
