Ingredients for 2–3 servings
200g of spaghetti or penne
200g of chopped boneless chicken breast
Two minced garlic cloves
One little onion, diced
Half a cup of cherry tomatoes
Two cups of chicken stock
Half a cup of milk, or heavy cream
One teaspoon of dried Italian herbs
Two teaspoons of olive oil
To taste, add salt and pepper.
Half a cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
To garnish, use fresh basil.
Directions
Prepare the chicken and add the aromas.
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the garlic and onion until aromatic. Season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs after adding the chicken. Cook until the chicken is gently browned, about 5 minutes.
Include the pasta and liquids.
When the chicken is in the saucepan, add the dried spaghetti. Add milk and chicken stock. Make sure the pasta is immersed and stir gently to mix. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes with a lid on, stirring regularly to prevent sticking. When the pasta is al dente and the liquid has reduced to a sauce consistency, it is done.
Add cheese and tomatoes.
Add Parmesan cheese and cherry tomatoes and stir. The cheese will melt from the remaining heat, producing a rich, creamy sauce.
Serve after garnishing.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve right away. For added taste, you can choose to add crushed chile flakes or drizzle with olive oil.
Recipe Advice
Pasta should be stirred occasionally to keep it from sticking, but not too much since this might break it.
Replace heavy cream with milk for added richness.
For extra benefits, use sliced bell peppers, fresh spinach, or tiny broccoli florets.
Add 1 teaspoon of your preferred hot sauce or ½ teaspoon of red chili flakes for spiciness.
