Ingredients
-
500g cubed chicken breast
-
300g pasta (your choice, such as penne, fusilli or spaghetti)
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 medium onion chopped
-
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
-
1 chopped red pepper
-
1 chopped yellow pepper
-
2 large tomatoes, chopped (or a can of peeled tomatoes)
-
1 cup tomato sauce
-
1/2 cup of cream
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
1 teaspoon of paprika
-
1 teaspoon of oregano
-
Grated parmesan cheese to taste
-
Chopped parsley to decorate
Preparation mode
- In a large pot, boil salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve.
- Season the chicken cubes with salt, black pepper and paprika. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and completely cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same frying pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft and golden. Add the peppers and cook for a few more minutes until they are soft.
- Add the chopped tomatoes (or peeled tomatoes) to the pan and cook until they start to break down. If using peeled tomatoes, mash them lightly with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomato sauce to the skillet and mix well. Cook for a few more minutes so the flavors can integrate. Add the cream and mix until smooth.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well. Add the cooked pasta and mix so that everything is well incorporated. If necessary, adjust the salt and pepper.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
