Creamy Tomato Chicken Pasta Recipe

This Creamy Tomato Chicken Pasta is my kind of comfort food. This dish is loaded with chicken, tomatoes, green onions, all in a creamy sauce and finally topped with lots of cheese. It’s happiness in a bowl.

INGREDIENTS:

8 oz rotini pasta uncooked

3 tbsp butter unsalted

1 lb chicken breast skinless and boneless, cut into bite size pieces

2 tbsp chili powder

1/2 tsp red chili flakes

1/2 tsp salt or to taste

1/4 tsp pepper or to taste

6 green onions chopped

1/2 cup parsley fresh, chopped

1 cup half and half

1 cup chicken broth low sodium or no sodium added

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken to the skillet, then sprinkle with the chili powder, red chili flakes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and is cooked through, should take about 5 minutes.
