Gather Your Ingredients!
Before you roll up your sleeves and put on that apron, make sure you have the following ingredients ready to rock:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (red or green, you choose the vibe!)
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, if you like it spicy!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces spaghetti or your favorite pasta
- Fresh basil, for garnish (because fancy!)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we have all our treasures, let’s whip up some magic!
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Toss in the chicken pieces and sauté until they’re golden brown on all sides. Yum!
- Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the veggies are soft and aromatic. Seriously, your kitchen will smell divine!
- Pour in the diced tomatoes along with their juice, and sprinkle in the oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together like it’s one big happy family.
- Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing all those flavors to meld together. It’s like a party in the pan!
- While that’s simmering, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Make it al dente! (That means firm to the bite, not mushy)
- Once the pasta is done, drain it and toss it into the skillet with the chicken mixture. Give it a good mix to coat every noodle. You want each bite to be as tasty as the last!
- Garnish with fresh basil, serve it up, and prepare for the compliments rolling in.
And there you have it! A delectable Chicken Cacciatore with Pasta that’s ready to impress without robbing you of your entire evening. Enjoy every delicious bite!
