FAQ
Q: Can I use a different type of pasta?
A: Yes, you can use any short pasta, such as rigatoni, fusilli, or bowtie. Adjust the cooking time based on the pasta shape and size.

Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
A: While this dish is best served fresh, you can prepare it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for a day or two. Reheat it gently on the stove, adding a bit of broth if the sauce thickens too much.

Q: Can I use frozen chicken?
A: It’s best to use thawed chicken for this recipe, as frozen chicken will release too much water and affect the texture of the dish. If you only have frozen chicken, thaw it first or cook it separately and add it to the dish afterward.

This One-Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta is a deliciously creamy and cheesy dinner that’s easy to make and perfect for a busy weeknight. With minimal cleanup and maximum flavor, it’s a meal everyone will love!
