Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir in the marinara sauce and water (or chicken broth). Bring to a simmer.
Add the pasta, ensuring it is fully submerged in the liquid. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente.
Stir in the cooked chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top. Cover and let it cook until the cheese melts.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
