Isn’t it fun to just go explore nearby cities and have a little getaway? We had a weekend of no soccer games, amazing right, so Kylie and I decided to run off and explore the city of Bellevue and Seattle. Thank you to Extended Stay America for having my family at their hotel in Bellevue, WA and for sponsoring this post, regardless all opinions are factual to our stay at the hotel. Which is where we decided to try making Chicken Parmesan Skillet dinner for the first time.
Now my family is no stranger to the Extended Stay America hotels, you can read about our Vancouver, WA visit -> here, so when we planned our trip we planned to make dinner in the room for the Friday night to save money and I have to say it turned out amazing. Our check in was easy and we just asked the front desk for the dishes set and the pans we needed, plus they even had the dish soap and towels for us to use.
The whole hotel room was comfy and nice and clean, perfect set up for traveling families, plus cooking in the room saved us a good $30-$40 for dinner. For our exploring of the area, it was the perfect base for our travels in the city, plus it was quite the money saver for us to not have to eat out for all our meals. Having a fully functional kitchen in the Extended Stay America room was perfect, plus Extended Stay America invested $1 Billion dollars in renovating and improving their hotels!
I actually let Kylie do the cooking this time, she was actually excited because she declared the kitchen as cute as could be. She loved how easy the Chicken Parmesan Skillet dinner was to make.
Easy Chicken Parmesan Skillet Dinner Ingredients:
- 1lb Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Splash of Italian dressing
- Olive oil with minced garlic in it
- Mozzarella cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- 1 Box penne pasta
- 1 Jar of red sauce
Easy Chicken Parmesan Skillet Dinner Directions:
A couple hours before we left home I poured some olive oil into a container and placed in some minced garlic to flavor the oil.
Cut your chicken into cubed pieces
In your fry pan warm up your desired amount of oil and dressing into your pan at medium-high
Cook your diced chicken in the oil and dressing until it is cooked
Once your chicken is cooked pour in your jar of sauce
Pour in the box of pasta
Fill your pasta jar back up with water and slowly pour into the pan
Mix everything together (be careful stirring as it fills up the pan)
Bring to a boil
Reduce heat to allow it to simmer and cover with a lid
Allow to cook for about 15 minutes, we checked ours every five minutes
When pasta is tender cover with mozzarella cheese and allow the meal to cook for a couple more minutes until the cheese is melted.
Top with more cheese and parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!!

I love easy skillet dinners! I can’t wait to try this one out next week!
Easy is my middle name. Okay, maybe it’s not, but you get the idea. I love me some easy recipes, and this chicken skillet dinner sounds like the perfect easy weeknight meal!
Yummy! Your chicken recipe looks and sounds amazing! I am all about easy recipes that I can quickly make for my family.
That sounds like a meal that my family would really like. I make a lot of Italian food because they like it the most, so this will really go over.
I’m going to have to try this on one of our busy nights. It looks so good and my kids love chicken and pasta.
This is one of my favorite quick meals to make during the week. So little ingredients but so much flavor.
That looks delish! I love almost any combination of chicken and pasta…and cheese, of course!
Easy dinners are all that happen around here! I love that you can make filling and fabulous meals wherever you are. Your chicken skillet sounds perfect for a family on the move.
Yum, we love chicken parmesan. I always try to get a room with a kitchenette when traveling with the family. Such a $$ saver!
This looks so tasty and easy to make for those nights where you don’t have alot of time to eat
