Quick Herb Chicken Pasta

This simple weeknight dinner of Quick Herb Chicken Pasta is hearty and filling. Just a few ingredients are required to create this flavorful meal.

If you need a quick weeknight meal, this is a great go-to recipe.  I’ve adapted it from a book called While the Pasta Cooks .  It’s available through Amazon.com and was one of the very first books I owned when I started to get into cooking.  Every recipe is doable in the time it takes to boil the pasta.  That’s every Mom’s dream dinner!  So go get a pot of water boiling and let’s make some dinner.

Ingredients you’ll need

• Cooked pasta
• Olive oil
• Onion
• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Rosemary and sage
• Tomato
• Garlic
• Red wine
• Reduced sodium chicken broth
• Salt and pepper

How to make this recipe

Start by caramelizing a medium onion that’s been chopped.  I used a bit of olive oil, but you could use cooking spray if you’re trying to cut back the fat grams. Add 3 cubed chicken breasts and cook until it begins to lose the raw look, but not cooked all the way through.

Toss in a sprig of rosemary and a sprig of sage.  You’ll take them out later, or conversely you could announce that whoever gets the sprig of rosemary has to do dishes. Add a diced medium tomato, 3 crushed cloves of garlic, 1 cup of reduced sodium chicken broth and a 1/2 cup of red wine (or white).  Season with salt and pepper and let it boil until the chicken is cooked through.  Remove the herbs and toss with your favorite shaped pasta.
