This One Pan Chicken and Pasta in Tomato Cream Sauce is an easy 30-minute meal that’s perfect ANY time of the year!
I love it when an awesome meal comes together in 30 minutes or less! Â Because honestly, now that warmer weather has arrived, I’d rather be outside working in my yard or playing with my dog, Baby in the evenings. Â Not only is this creamy pasta dish super fast and easy, it tastes absolutely incredible!
Besides, what’s not to love about chicken surrounded by pasta swimming in a creamy tomato sauce?! Â Nothing. Â Serve it with a salad and crusty french bread and you’ve got a complete meal in no time flat.
The pasta cooks right in the sauce and chicken broth so there’s just one pan which means EASY CLEANUP… I’ll take it!  🙂

Really enjoyed this.
It all started because I had a jar of home-canned tomato puree and a chicken breast. So I adapted the recipe here.
Sauteed onion & garlic, then the tomato sauce and cooked to reduce to sauce consistency. Dusted the chicken with flour & S&P before browning; adding a pinch or two of red pepper flakes. Added some grated Parm to the cream and served it all with Parm on top.
