Chicken Potato and Pasta
Ingredients:
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1 cup uncooked pasta of your choice (such as penne or fusilli)
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can diced tomatoes
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pot, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the diced potatoes, canned tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, dried oregano, and dried basil. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
4. Add the uncooked pasta to the pot, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed some of the flavorful broth, about 10-12 minutes.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
6. Once the pasta is cooked to your liking and the chicken is fully cooked through, remove the pot from heat. Serve the Chicken Potato and Pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley for an extra burst of flavor and color.
