    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!  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.  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?!  Nothing.  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.
