SUBSTITUTIONS and ADDITIONS

Chicken: To make this dish suitable for vegetarians, you could leave out the chicken, or use a vegetarian chicken substitute. You should also swap the chicken stock for vegetable stock.

Garlic: If you don’t have garlic powder, garlic salt and garlic paste, you can just add more of the type of garlic that you do have. Fresh or frozen garlic will also work for this recipe.

Ragu Old World Traditional Pasta Sauce: This is our favorite sauce to make one pot parmesan chicken, but any brand of tomato-based pasta sauce will be fine or you could use homemade pasta sauce.

Rigatoni Pasta: Penne pasta is a good substitute for rigatoni, or you could use whatever shape of past you have in the cupboard.

Mushrooms: These will make a great optional extra to add if you wish.

Cherry Tomatoes: Fresh cherry tomatoes sliced in half will also make a great addition if you wish.
