One Pot “Chicken Parm” Pasta

Recipe was slightly awkward to follow. Needed way more liquid to cook the pasta in. I added twice the amount of water and it still probably wasn't enough.

Nice but would add a lot less Italian herb, was super overpowering. Maybe herbs in South Africa are stronger, not sure.

I'm a pretty experienced home cook. If I had to rewrite the instructions to make it easier to understand (and this is how I did it): 1. Cook bacon in the pot until crispy, then set aside on a plate w/paper towel 2. Cook chicken 2 minutes on each side then set aside on same plate (chicken will be slightly undercooked and that's ok. We will add it to sauce later and it will continue to cook) ^ unfortunately this part is not optional. If you keep meats in the pot they will overcook + make the sauce greasy. 3. Cook onions in bacon/chicken fat until translucent. 4. Add garlic and mushrooms, cook until mushrooms are tender 5. Add all ingredients to make sauce, including tomato and seasoning. Mix 6. Add meats back to the pot 7. Add noodles to the sauce. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes, then turn on low/medium low and simmer for 20 minutes. ^ make sure there is enough sauce to cover noodles for this step. If there isn't enough sauce or your sauce seems too thick, you can add a cup of water or chicken broth. Tips: - If noodles aren't done to your likeness in 20 minutes, you can continue to simmer this as long as needed. Now that the meats are in sauce they will not overcook. - Make sure to simmer on low so sauce doesn't burn on bottom of the pan. If sauce seems to get too thick as it's simmering, just add a little more water. It will be fine. 👍 - If you're afraid chicken breasts will be dry, just use chicken thighs instead. That's what I used. 6. Garnish with cheese and fresh greens like scallions or basil. 7. Serve Done!

I will add bell peppers next time. I cooked everything together rather than one at a time so the chicken had more flavor. I also omitted the mustard, used better than bouillon for the chicken stock, and added a dash of heavy cream.

Too tomato tasting for me

I found the directions hard to follow and understand. I must have misunderstood when to add the pasta in because I added it after the sauce boiled for 15 minutes and it didn’t cook. I also found that 5 minutes to cook the chicken was a big understatement. The recipe in total with prep time took me 1 1/2 hours. Could be me but overall would not recommend, especially to beginner cooks.

I accidentally put too much mustard. I'll add more mushrooms next time.

Lovely and very filling, I used less pasta as it was too much

Pretty good! I cooked my bacon and then sautéed the mushrooms in the bacon fat. :)

Very nice, add double the garlic, splash of red wine vinegar, and a stock cube to the tomato sauce for more flavour.

This was ok, but read the instructions thoroughly! It is one POT not pan, and it does take more than that to make it. Overall it tasted good but I think I would rather have made actual chicken parmesan.

This tastes a lot fancier than it actually is! It’s really yummy and tastes like chicken parm from a restaurant without all the grease

It was really good. I added a bit more of almost every spice. It was easy to make.

It was delicious! I cooked it just how it told me to except I added about 1/3 of heavy whipping cream and it tasted way better than before!

Een potje light room toegevoegd.

I wasn’t really thrilled with this. I feel like the bacon added no real depth, and the sauce I ended up with was kinda sweet. I think if I ever made it again, I would cook the pasta separately to speed up the whole process, forget the bacon, add in a jar of pasta sauce instead of the water, and maybe add in some bell peppers or something.

It wasn't to bad. There wasn't as much flavor as I would have liked. The instructions were a little confusing.

Not a hit for everyone, but filling!

I added meatballs too. Yum!

Too much Italian seasoning.

Super good it was a bit bland so add some extra spices if you desire. Overall pretty easy to make and simple however it does take a bit to make but it’s still good!!

Next time I will use a bigger pan LOL. So yummy! Husband said to make it again haha

Made this tonight 250gm of pasta was enough to feed two with enough left over for lunch.

I added diff spices rather than Italian seasoning bc I thought that would make it bland. Added cardamom, paprika, parsley flakes. I also didnt put tomatoes or bacon in it. It was quite good

So I made this and I cut out the tomatoes, bacon, and mozzarella cheese due to high calories, dietary restrictions, and picky eaters. I was able to drop the calories down from over 1200 cal per serving down to 695 per serving. In place of the tomatoes I added an extra 8oz of tomato sauce. I thought the directions were not very clear but I muddled through and I had to add extra seasoning because the sauce tasted a little bland. Once I was satisfied with the seasoning I thought the dish tasted pretty good and so did the rest of the family

Don't add the bacon or the diced tomatoes. The chicken was the best part.
