Quick And Easy Chicken And Tomato Pasta Recipes

TOMATO SPINACH CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, drained from sun-dried tomatoes, to a large skillet, on medium-low heat.
• Add chopped chicken. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and prefer to use them, but you can use chopped chicken breast, as well.
• Add red pepper flakes, and salt over all of the ingredients in the skillet.
• Cook on medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
• Add chopped tomatoes, chopped fresh basil leaves, fresh spinach, and chopped garlic to the skillet with chicken. Cook on medium heat for about 3- 5 minutes until spinach wilts just a little, and tomatoes release some of their juices. Remove from heat.
• Taste, and add more salt to taste, if needed. Cover with lid and keep off heat.
• Cook pasta according to package instructions, until al dente.
• Drain. Add cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
• Reheat on low heat, mix everything well, add more seasonings (salt and pepper), if desired. Remove from heat.
• At this point, when the pasta and vegetables are off heat, you can add more high-quality olive oil. It's optional but really tasty! Or you can add more olive oil from the jar from the sun-dried tomatoes.

QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN AND TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Boil pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle chicken with seasoned salt, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in drained black olives and mushrooms. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden brown. Strain chicken juices from pan, and reduce heat to low. Stir in tomatoes, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Toss the pasta and chicken mixture together, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve.

30 MINUTE ONE POT CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add in the onions. Cook for 3 minutes on a medium-to-high heat until they start to turn translucent.
• Add in the chicken, salt and pepper. Cook for a further 3 minutes until the chicken is sealed (it won't be cooked in the middle at this point).
• Add in the garlic, tomato puree and red peppers. Stir, then add in the pasta.
• Now add in the oregano, Worcestershire sauce, tins of tomatoes, stock and milk. Stir and bring to the boil, then turn down to a gentle simmer. Cover with a lid or some foil and simmer for 12-15 minutes (checking occasionally) until the pasta is cooked.
• Stir in the chopped sugar snap peas (it's nice to add them at the end, so they're hot, but retain their crunch),
• then sprinkle the pasta with cheese and put it under the grill/broiler for a couple of minutes until the cheese has melted.
• Top with chopped chives and serve.
