Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until chicken is browned and cooked through.
