Oven-Baked Chicken and Beef Pasta with Tomato Parmesan

Ingredients

- 2 cups uncooked pasta (your choice)
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 lb. ground beef
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. Prepare the Chicken and Beef
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Transfer the beef to a plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

4. Cook the Chicken
In the same skillet, add the chicken pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Cook until the chicken is browned on the outside but not fully cooked through, about 5 minutes.

5. Combine the Ingredients
Return the ground beef to the skillet with the chicken. Stir in the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, and cooked pasta. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated with the sauce.

6. Top with Cheese
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the pasta mixture.

7. Bake the Dish
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked.

8. Serve
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful oven-baked chicken and beef pasta with tomato Parmesan!
