Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 12 ounces spaghetti, uncooked
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their juice), chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Break the spaghetti in half and add it to the pot, making sure it is submerged in the liquid.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot. Cover with a lid and simmer over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the spaghetti is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the lid and stir in grated Parmesan cheese. Let the mixture rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
