  3. 3Grab a bowl and throw in 1/3 cup of flour, 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese, and the seasonings (1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper, 1 tsp each of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parsley flakes, and onion powder).
  4. 4Toss in that cubed up chicken and shake it around till it's all coated.
  5. 5Get your skillet over medium heat and throw in a couple tablespoons of butter.
  6. 6Cook the chicken until it's nice and golden brown and cooked through.
  7. 7Remove the chicken from the skillet.
  8. 8Lower the heat and add two tablespoons of minced garlic and 24 ounces of your favorite marinara sauce.
  9. 9Let the sauce hang out on low heat.
  10. 10Strain the pasta.

  12. 12Add in about a cup of ricotta cheese in little dollops all around the pan.
  13. 13Add the cooked chicken back to the pan along with a sprinkling of freshly shredded mozzarella.
  14. 14Pop the skillet in the oven at 400 degrees for just a couple minutes to get that cheese melted.
