Chicken Parmesan Baked Pasta

I found this little gem on Pinterest.  I made a few adjustments to the original recipe based on what I had one hand. I thought it was a nice alternative to traditional chicken parm, and pretty tasty!

Chicken Parmesan Baked Pasta

Ingredients:
cooked diced chicken
penne pasta
1 can of diced tomatoes
1/2 can of chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon of oregano
1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons of basil
1 teaspoon of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of oil
1 cup of shredded Parmesan
1 cup of shredded mozzarella
2 cups of water

Directions:
Preheat over to 425 degrees.  Add oil to a hot skillet, followed by garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and basil.  Cook for about 1 minute, continuously stirring.  Add tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and uncooked pasta to the pan.  Bring to a boil, then decrease temperature.  Cover the pan and let it simmer until the pasta is cooked (about 15 minutes).  After the pasta is cooked, remove the pan from heat.  Add in 1/2 cup of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese and cooked chicken.  Transfer this to a baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.  Pop the dish into the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
