ITALIAN HERB BAKED CHICKEN & PASTA RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Italian Herb Baked Chicken & Pasta Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by dkanon

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 cups uncooked medium pasta, such as rotini, penne or ziti
1 pound uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 1/2 cups water
1 package McCormick® Italian Chicken and Pasta Bake Seasoning Mix
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Place pasta, chicken and 1 cup of the cheese in 13x9-inch baking dish. Mix water, seasoning mix and tomatoes until well blended. Pour over pasta and chicken. Stir to coat well, making sure most of the pasta is covered with sauce. Cover with foil. Bake 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove foil and stir. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake, uncovered, 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes. (Sauce will continue to thicken upon standing.)

Tips:

Use fresh herbs whenever possible. Fresh herbs impart a more intense flavor than dried herbs.
Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If the chicken pieces are too close together, they will not cook evenly.
Roast the chicken at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Baked Italian herb chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its crispy skin, juicy meat, and flavorful herbs, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
