Simple Chicken and Tomato Basil Pasta

Step by step

Method

1. 01

   Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.

2. 02

   While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.

3. 03

   Add the cut chicken breast to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set it aside.

4. 04

   Add the diced onion to the same pan and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and sliced bell pepper, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the bell pepper is slightly tender.

5. 05

   Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing them to soften and break down slightly to form a sauce.

6. 06

   Return the cooked chicken and the drained pasta to the pan with the vegetables and sauce. Toss everything together to combine thoroughly.

7. 07

   Stir in the fresh basil just before serving.

8. 08

   Serve immediately, topped with grated parmesan cheese.
