Recipe View Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the pasta. Cover again and simmer until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining mozzarella cheese before serving.

For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Increase cooking time accordingly.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Fresh basil or parsley makes a lovely garnish.
For a creamier sauce, stir in a dollop of mascarpone cheese or heavy cream at the end.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or water to thin it out.
This dish is also delicious with other vegetables, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini.
