Ingredients

• 1 pound of chicken breast

• olive oil

• 1 - 2 bell peppers

• 1 onion

• 1 box of pasta (I used fusilli)

• 1 1/2 cups of cream

• 1/2 cup pecorino romano or parmesan cheese

• 1/2 tube of tomato paste

• 1 1/2 tbsp onion powder

• 1 1/2 tbsp garlic powder

• 1 1/2 tbsp paprika

• 1 1/2 tbsp salt (or to taste)

• 1 1/2 tbsp chipotle powder

• 1 1/2 tbsp oregano

• a few sprigs of rosemary

What to do

• prepare bell peppers and onion by dicing them into small cubes & set them aside

• cut chicken breast into small cubes and place in a separate bowl

• cover the cubed chicken with a drizzle of olive oil, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp paprika, salt, 1 tbsp chipotle powder, 1 tbsp oregano, and a few sprigs of rosemary

• mix until chicken is fully coated

• drizzle a large pan on medium-high heat with olive oil & cook the chicken for about 15 minutes or until fully cooked

• while the chicken is cooking, start cooking your pasta based on the instructions of the packaging & strain it once it is done cooking (also make sure to save at least a cup to a cup and half of pasta water for the sauce)

• once the chicken has finished cooking, place into a new bowl and set aside for now

• in the same pan, add in your diced onions and bell peppers and cook them until they start to become tender and the onions begin to look translucent

• then add your tomato paste, and once that is combined with the bell peppers & onions, also add in your cream to the pan and mix

• if sauce is becoming too thick, gradually add in pasta water as need to loosen it up

• then mix in 1/2 tbsp onion powder, 1/2 tbsp garlic powder, 1/2 tbsp paprika, salt, 1/2 tbsp chipotle powder, 1/2 tbsp oregano, and pecorino romano/parmesan to your sauce

• now add in your strained pasta and chicken into the pan and mix until fully combined

• serve & enjoy (top with more cheese, chili flakes, and basil)
