When I was meal planning last week, I knew I wanted to cook a roast chicken at the weekend so I was looking for something a bit different to cook with the leftovers and I came across this One-pot Chicken Parmesan from the Chunky Chef and I thought to myself, a) I love one pot recipes and b) this is something which could easily be adapted to use up my roast chicken leftovers in a bit of a different way, so this is what I did with it…
One Pot Leftover Chicken Parmesan
Ingredients
- 210 g Mozzarella torn
- 1 Box Pulled Leftover Roast Chicken
- 1.5 Jars Marinara Sauce
- 1.5 Jars Homemade Chicken Stock
- 450 g Dried Pasta Shapes of choice
- 1 Carrot Grated
- 1 Onion diced
- 3 Garlic Cloves diced
- A good shake Italian Seasoning
- 1 tsp Stock Powder
- Parmesan Cheese finely grated to taste
- 1 swig Olive Oil
Instructions
-
Take your large saucepan/ Dutch Oven and add a swig of olive oil followed by onion and garlic & grated carrot, fry off at a medium heat until it starts to colour a little
-
Add chicken, followed my marinara sauce (I used homemade – which you can find the recipe for on the blog, or you can used shop bought)
-
Add chicken stock then dried pasta, along with some Italian seasoning & stock powder and bring to a boil
-
Cook for 15 mins with the lid on, on a light boil
-
Remove the lid and add mozzarella, and grated parmesan, stir together then serve and enjoy!
…it did kind of evolve as I went along but the result was really tasty and I think will be a firm favourite for using chicken leftovers going forward. Hope you guys enjoy it too, please do comment below with your thoughts if you do. Here is my Marinara Sauce Recipe in case you want it 🙂
The flavours of chicken parmesan are a family favourite, and I can’t wait to simplify the cooking process with your one-pot method. The step-by-step instructions and pictures make it easy to follow. I’m eager to give this a try and taste the deliciousness.
Thank you Supriya. Hope you enjoy it when you do get round to trying. Look forward to hearing how it goes xx
