Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 piece Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup Sweet chilli sauce
- 1 cup Tomato puree
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 400 grams Cooked pasta (e.g., fettuccine or penne)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Pour in the sweet chilli sauce, tomato puree, heavy cream, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta in the sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
