Gluten-free Skillet Chicken Parmesan - Made in 30 minutes or less! Perfect weeknight dinner!

Skillet Parmesan Chicken is an easy weeknight dinner the whole family loved! Perfectly seasoned chicken breast served in a rich sauce, topped with melty cheese, over gluten-free pasta. I’m always looking for easy weeknight meals that are healthy, varied, and filling. If my kids love it and it can be made in under an hour, we have a winner!

I’ve long recommended jovial pasta as a favorite gluten-free pasta of mine. Seeing my love for their products, jovial contacted me and asked if I’d develop a new recipe using their gluten-free pasta, and of course I said YES! I love the chance to work with companies that I already use and recommend. I regularly use jovial gluten-free pasta in my Skillet Spaghetti, Peanut Butter Chicken & Pasta, and my Busy Mom’s Chicken Noodle Soup.

You can buy jovial gluten-free pasta directly from the jovial website, at your local Whole Foods or specialty retailer, and even online in multi-packs from Amazon.

Skillet Chicken Parmesan - Quick weeknight dinner made gluten-free! Highly recommend using Jovial Pasta - it doesn't get mushy!

Last week I decided to work at making a quicker skillet version of a typically more time-consuming meal – baked Chicken Parmesan. I wanted to have the same flavor, but in an easier weeknight version. To save a ton of time, I eliminated breading the chicken. Instead, the chicken is coated with a flavorful blend of seasonings and cooked in butter for richness of flavor.

Since I was looking for shortcuts and saving time, I used a good jarred spaghetti sauce that I jazzed up a bit with fresh garlic and herbs. This would be fantastic with a homemade sauce and I hope to use the jovial crushed tomatoes to make my own sauce soon and freeze so that I can pull it out for meals like this.

This entire meal is made on the stove top, with just a large skillet and one pot. While the water boils and the pasta cooks in the pot, you can cook the chicken in the skillet. From starting to prep to serving your family will take about 30-35 minutes! If your family is larger than our family of four, just double the recipe!

Easy and delicious stovetop version of a family favorite meal!
Recipe from: Michelle @ MyGluten-freeKitchen.com
Recipe type: Main
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. gluten-free seasoning salt or lemon pepper
  • 1 jar (24 oz.) spaghetti sauce or equivalent homemade sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • pinch of fresh basil
  • pinch of fresh oregano
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 12 oz. Jovial gluten-free pasta (your choice of shape, I used fusilli)
Instructions
  1. Set a pot of water over high heat to bring to boil. Once water is at a full, rolling boil, add gluten-free pasta noodles, a pinch of salt, and cook according to package instructions. When pasta is done, drain water and set pasta aside.
  2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and chicken. Sprinkle one side of chicken with half of the garlic powder and half of the seasoning salt called for in recipe. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Flip chicken. Sprinkle with remaining garlic powder and seasoning salt. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  3. Pour spaghetti sauce over chicken, then stir in grated (powdered) Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, basil and oregano. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  4. Turn off heat. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Let cheese melt, then serve chicken and sauce over cooked gluten-free pasta.
  5. Serving idea: serve with a fresh lettuce and spinach salad and gluten-free dinner rolls or gluten-free French Bread.

    Whenever I think of chicken parm, I think of at least an hour and a half in the kitchen and a TON of dishes. You’ve totally proven me wrong on this one. Great recipe!

    What a delicious dish Michelle! I feel so fortunate to have products like Jovial’s that are good quality nutritionally AND gluten-free to make meals like this. I’ve loved their pastas I’ve tried and now will hunt down their fusilli too.
