Prepare the Chicken
Pull the chicken from the refrigerator and allow it to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature. Gently pound the chicken using a mallet so it is tender and cooks evenly and quickly. Season with salt and black pepper.
Next, grab a 3.5-quart non-stick sauteuse pan and add the olive oil over medium heat. Then, you’ll add the seasoned chicken breasts to the pan. Pan roast for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken from the pan.
Next, add one jar of your favorite red sauce to the same pan that has the chicken drippings. Store bought is fine.
Next, add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until its well coated. Nestle the chicken breasts back into the pasta, along with any dripping they released while resting.
Top the dish with shredded mozzarella. Broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted. Finish with cracked black pepper, fresh chopped basil, and fresh chopped Italian parsley. Enjoy!
