Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

1 lb bacon, cut into 1/2-inch thick pieces
1 lb chicken, cubed
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
3 cups whole milk
1 lb bow tie pasta
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

In a large stockpot, saute bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a medium bowl.
Reduce heat to medium. Add chicken to the bacon fat and cook until center is no longer pink. Remove with a slotted spoon to the same bowl as the bacon.
Saute onion in bacon fat for 1 minute. Add garlic and saute for an additional minute.
Sprinkle in the flour, dried minced onion, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, basil, oregano and pepper. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
Stir in chicken broth, water and milk. Increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil. Add pasta. Cook for 9-11 minutes or until al dente, stirring every 1-2 minutes to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.
Remove from heat and stir in spinach, breaking it up to spread throughout the pasta and sauce. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese until it's incorporated. Stir in the bacon and chicken.
Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese on top. Serve warm.

Tips:

Use a large pot or Dutch oven to ensure there is enough space for the pasta and sauce to cook properly.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, but reduce the cooking time by 1-2 minutes since it will continue to cook in the sauce.
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a flavorful tomato sauce will make a big difference.
Don't overcrowd the pot when adding the chicken breasts. Cook them in batches if necessary to ensure that they cook evenly.
If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or a heavy skillet to pound the chicken breasts thin.
Use a flavorful breadcrumb mixture for the chicken Parmesan. Panko breadcrumbs add a nice crispy texture.
Be generous with the cheese when topping the pasta. Mozzarella and Parmesan are a classic combination, but you can also add other cheeses like provolone or Asiago.
Broil the pasta until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn.

One-pot chicken Parmesan pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It's a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold night. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful one-pot chicken Parmesan pasta that will be a hit with everyone at the table.
