Print Recipe
Author Jehan Powell

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless chicken thighs cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 red pepper sliced
  • 1 green pepper sliced
  • 1 orange pepper sliced
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp basil
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 3 cups pasta
  • Fresh basil to garnish optional

Instructions

  • Cook pasta making sure it’s just a bit undercooked; the pasta will cook until done in the sauce.
  • While pasta cooks, mix chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, oregano, basil and parsley.
  • Heat oil over medium heat, in a pot large enough to hold pasta. Add seasoned chicken and cook until the pieces are brown.
  • Next add onion, peppers, and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, ketchup, sugar and water and cook until the sauce reduces and thickens.
  • Strain pasta, reserved 1 cup of pasta water.
  • Add strained pasta to the pot with the chicken and stir to combine. Add additional pasta water if there isn't enough sauce.
  • Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the pasta soaks up the sauce. Add fresh basil to garnish.
