Chicken Bake Pasta

You can make this with or without chicken. You could even use beef or seafood but I prefer chicken. I also use Wacky Mac pasta because they make their noodles with veggies so it's a good way to get a little extra veggies in without my family knowing. Ha ha I fooled them. Don't tell them!

Ingredients:
1 bag (12oz) of Wacky Mac pasta
1 jar spaghetti sauce (32 oz)
1 onion (cubed)
2 garlic cloves (mashed)
1 cup chicken broth (I use low sodium)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tap salt
2 cups mozzarella
1 cup parmesan (fresh if possible worth it)
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cubed)

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
2. In a large skillet add a little vegetable oil and cook chicken.
3. Once chicken is cooked remove any liquid. Then add onion and garlic. Let cook for 5 minutes.
4. Add pasta sauce to chicken and set aside.
5. While cooking chicken cook pasta according to the package. Once pasta is cooked and water is drained out add chicken to pasta and mix together.
6. In a small sauce pan bring chicken broth, salt, and pepper to boil. Mix in with pasta once to a boil.
7. In a 13 x 9 pan add half the pasta mix.
8. Top pasta with 1 cup of mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan.
9. Top cheese with remainder of the pasta.
10. Top pasta with remainder of mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and make in oven for 20 minutes.
11. Take tin foil off after 20 minutes and bake for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
