Steps:
- To a large pot or skillet (I used my dutch oven), add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Cook about 5 minutes, until chicken is most of the way cooked through. Remove to a plate.
- Add onion and garlic to the pot and cook about 2-3 minutes, until soft. Pour in marinara sauce, fill up empty sauce jar with water and add to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a strong simmer.
- Add chicken and pasta, stir, then cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, until pasta is cooked to your liking. Stir in parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
- Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese on top of the dish and cook another 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted and gooey.
- Sprinkle with additional Italian seasoning if desired, and garnish with parsley or basil.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. Cut and measure everything in advance to save time and ensure that the cooking process goes smoothly.
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality chicken, vegetables, and pasta for the best flavor. Fresh ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish with salt and pepper. You can always add more, but you can't take it away.
- Cook the Chicken Properly: Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but not overcooked. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
- Use a Large Skillet: A large skillet will help you cook the chicken and vegetables evenly. If you use a small skillet, the food will be crowded and will not cook properly.
- Simmer the Sauce: Simmering the sauce for a few minutes will help the flavors meld together and develop. This will also help to thicken the sauce.
- Add the Chicken and Vegetables Back to the Sauce: Once the sauce has simmered, add the chicken and vegetables back to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the sauce.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the pasta with the chunky chicken sauce immediately while it is hot. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
