Pasta recipe with chicken breast and tomato sauce is a comforting and flavorful dish. Tender chicken breast is cooked in a rich tomato sauce, infused with aromatic herbs and served over al dente pasta.
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) pasta of your choice
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 ounces/400 grams) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the tomato sauce: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out.
- Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the tomato sauce. Stir gently to coat the chicken with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Serve: Divide the cooked pasta among serving plates. Top with the chicken and tomato sauce. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
