Pasta con Pollo al Pomodoro is a comforting dish that's perfect for a cozy dinner, bringing together tender chicken and flavorful tomato sauce with pasta in a delightful Italian way!

1

Start by boiling a pot of salted water for the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

2

While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

3

Next, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

4

Add the chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces, to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

5

Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the canned tomatoes. Crush them slightly with a spoon, and add the basil. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

6

When the pasta is done, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together, adding a bit of pasta water if needed to achieve the desired consistency.

7

Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
