Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • 3 cups uncooked penne pasta
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated and divided
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Add the chicken, uncooked pasta, chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and 1 cup mozzarella to the baking dish and stir until combined.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, stir, and check to see if pasta is al dente. If it's still too firm, cover and return dish to oven until pasta is just tender, but not mushy.
  • Once pasta is al dente, sprinkle remaining mozzarella over uncovered dish and top evenly with grape tomatoes. Return to oven and bake until cheese has melted and tomatoes have browned slightly, 10-12 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and serve. Enjoy!
