Chicken pasta recipe – A basic spaghetti recipe made with fresh tomatoes and chicken. This is quick to make for a meal on a busy day as it doesn’t take much time. Veggies, protein and grain all go in one dish making it a healthy and wholesome one without much effort.

This can be served with a hot soup and some bread toast. We served with this chicken soup and veg cheese toast. You can also have it with Mushroom soup or Sweet corn soup, Cheese garlic toast or this quick French toast.

Preparation for chicken pasta recipe

1. Bring 10 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add salt and 1 tsp of oil. Add spaghetti and cook as per the instructions on the pack. I used organic durum wheat spaghetti.

2. They must be cooked al dente. Drain them in a colander and rinse them well. I prefer to smear about 1 tsp of olive oil over the pasta to keep them non sticky.

3. Heat oil in a pan and saute garlic until it smells good.

4. Add chicken shredded or cubed and then sprinkle salt. I had brined the chicken in vinegar for about 2 hours. If you have brined yours in salted solution, then skip adding salt to the pan here.

5. Saute on a medium heat until completely cooked. Add spice powder and pepper. I used all spice. Saute on high heat just for a min or 2.

6. Set the chicken aside. Add little more oil to the pan. Saute garlic until aromatic. Then add onions.

7. Saute until the onions turn golden.

8. Add the pureed tomatoes. (deseeded)

9. Cook until the sauce thickens. It does take some time to thicken. I over cooked the sauce here, was having fun with the kids and forgot about this. Time to add the chicken, chilli flakes, coarsely crushed pepper and oregano. To make chilli flakes, I just pulsed few crisp red chillis (non spicy kind) in a mini blender.

10. Add 2 tbsps of water or pasta cooked starchy water. And cook till it reaches a saucy consistency as shown in the picture.

11. Add cooked pasta.

12. Saute for 2 to 3 mins. Off the heat. At this stage if your chicken pasta looks dry, add little more olive oil.

Serve hot or warm with a bowl of soup.

      Hi Kiara
      I have tried this recipe with garam masala, all spice powder & chinese five spice. You can also use any curry powder. If you don’t have any just skip it.

    Made this recipe today, absolutely amazing! It was quick and easy to do, as well as being nutritious. I did make a few changes: I added a chopped carrot with the tomatoes (canned), as well as adding more garam masala, chilli powder and a pinch of thyme with the chicken when adding to the sauce. Will definitely make again.
