INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Chickpea Penne (cooked)
1/2 cup Crushed Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup chopped Onion
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the chickpea penne according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and lightly golden.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and let simmer for 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors.
Return the sliced chicken to the pan, stirring to coat it in the tomato sauce.
Mix in the cooked chickpea penne and gently toss to combine all ingredients.
Finish by stirring in the fresh basil just before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
