Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Skillet Chicken Pasta with Fresh Vegetables.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of water to a vigorous boil over high heat.
Step 2
Once boiling, toss in the spaghettini and cook it until it reaches that perfect al dente texture, which should take about 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the pasta and keep it warm while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Step 4
In a spacious skillet, warm up 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 5
Add in the sliced tomatoes and let them cook until they soften and start to break down, releasing their delicious juices.
Step 6
Next, stir in garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, sugar, and a splash of ketchup for a hint of sweetness.
Step 7
Allow the sauce to heat through, then set it aside to let those flavors meld together.
Step 8
Meanwhile, grab a separate cast iron skillet and heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 9
Add the chicken strips and cook them until they turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 10
Toss in the crushed garlic cloves and let them cook for an additional minute, filling your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.
Step 11
Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 12
Now, crank up the heat to high and add the chopped bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet.
Step 13
Sauté these vibrant veggies until they begin to soften and release their flavors.
Step 14
After a few minutes, return the browned chicken to the skillet and reduce the heat back to medium.
Step 15
Cook everything together until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the vegetables are tender, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 16
Finally, combine the chicken and sautéed vegetables with the rich tomato sauce and the warm spaghettini.
Step 17
Serve your delightful creation topped with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and enjoy a comforting meal that’s sure to impress!.
