One Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta

I never thought cooking a one pot pasta meal will be much easier than easy pasta cooking...no draining, no messiness and tasted even better. This is gonna be my go-to method for weeknight pasta meals. My 2yo is a pasta lover and she really liked this dish, so did the husband. Why don't you give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you ;).

Method:

- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces, add a tbsp of dried italian herbs, salt, ground   black pepper (to taste) and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese. Mix well. Set aside.

- In a medium sized non-stick pot, add 1 1/4 cup water and bring to a simmer. Add in the contents of a medium sized bottle of  traditional pasta sauce to the water and bring to a boil.
 Once it starts to boil, add in spaghetti enough for 3 people (broken into half). Let it cook.

- Meanwhile heat a pan with some olive oil, and cook the chicken pieces till cook through, about 5 mins.

- When pasta is tender, add in 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese and the cooked chicken pieces. Mix well and serve hot.

Easy one pot pasta meal is ready!
