Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 yellow onion, diced; 3 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 red bell pepper, sliced; 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved; 1 tsp dried oregano; 1 tsp dried basil; Salt and pepper, to taste; 1 cup chicken broth; 1 cup heavy cream; 8 oz penne pasta; Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Meanwhile, cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the Chicken Pasta For Dinner Party hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and added flavor.
