Ingredients

2 tablespoons Italian dressing not the creamy kind
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cubed
16 ounces dry penne pasta (1 box)
24 ounces Alfredo sauce (1 jar or 3 cups if using homemade)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1½ cups sun-dried tomatoes optional
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Heat chicken and Italian dressing in a large 12 inch skillet over medium high heat (If you don't own a large skillet, you can use a stock pot). Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
2 tablespoons Italian dressing, 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cook chicken until browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes depending on thickness of chicken.
Add the box of pasta and the entire jar of alfredo (or 3 cups of homemade alfredo). Fill the empty marinara jar with water and add to the skillet. If using a stockpot, use 2 cups water. Add the salt and pepper to taste and the dried oregano. Lightly stir the mixture to combine.
16 ounces dry penne pasta, 24 ounces Alfredo sauce, Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon dried oregano
Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until pasta is tender to your liking (see note).
Stir in the sun dried tomatoes.
1½ cups sun-dried tomatoes
Cover with grated parmesan and then shredded mozzarella. No need to stir. Continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes or until cheese is fully melted. You can also broil the entire skillet for about 4 minutes to make the cheese extra melty!
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, ½ cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
Top with chopped parsley and serve! Enjoy!

Notes

The pasta in the middle of the skillet and underneath will be more tender than the outside pasta. It's okay if those pieces are a bit toastier and less soft. The inside will be plenty soft.
Feel free to add in more favorite ingredients such as prosciutto, onions, peas, or whatever your family might love.
