This easy one pot chicken parmesan pasta is the right choice if you love chicken parmesan but hate washing dishes. In this recipe, everything all cooks in the same pot to create a creamy, cheesy, and delicious meal with minimal mess that the whole family will love.
When I’m stirring the pasta as it cooks, I don’t want to be worried about the liquid slopping up and over the sides. I’m a messy cook, but no one likes to clean up burn on sauces from their stovetop!
If you don’t have a dutch oven, you can use a deep sided skillet, or a stock pot… but I highly recommend picking up a dutch oven, they have so many uses!!
To go alongside this pasta, I like to serve either my homemade cheesy garlic bread, cheesy garlic crescent rolls, or no knead artisan bread. Add a nice green salad and it makes the perfect trio!
