Macaroni with chicken, tomatoes and basil is an Italian-style pasta dish with a creamy sauce and vegetables. The chicken breasts are first braised, then sautéed with garlic in olive oil and simmered with peeled tomatoes and green bell peppers until tender. Cream mellows the sauce at the end, while fresh parsley and basil add aroma. The recipe serves four and uses everyday ingredients.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into cubes, season with salt and pepper, and braise for about 15 minutes, until cooked through.

    Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, remove them and peel off the skins. Dice the tomatoes and bell peppers and set aside.

  2. Quickly sauté the garlic in the olive oil until golden, add the chicken and sauté together over high heat for about 6 minutes. Add the vegetables, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente.

  3. Pour the cream over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet and heat through. Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce, sprinkle with the fresh herbs and serve.

Tip: Sauté the garlic only until light golden and add the chicken immediately; otherwise, the garlic could darken and turn bitter over high heat. You can use a can of peeled tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes.
