How to Make Tasty Chicken Pasta With Tomato And Peppers

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped bell pepper and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until slightly softened.
  3. Add the cubed chicken to the pan and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken stock cube (or broth), tomato puree, water, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. While the sauce simmers, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  7. If using, stir in the frozen peas during the last 2 minutes of the sauce simmering time.
  8. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the pan with the chicken and sauce.
  9. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and toss to combine.
  10. Serve immediately with crusty bread and a green salad. Enjoy!
