Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped, drained of olive oil)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (drained from sun-dried tomatoes, or regular olive oil)
- 1/2 pound asparagus (ends trimmed, cut in half)
- 1/2 pound chicken (boneless, skinless (preferably, boneless skinless thighs), chopped)
- salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 4 roma tomatoes (chopped)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 3 garlic cloves (chopped)
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta ((use gluten free pasta for gluten free version))
- 3 tablespoons olive oil ((use high quality only) - OPTIONAL )
Instruction
- Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of olive oil (drained from sun-dried tomatoes or just use regular olive oil) to a large skillet, on medium-low heat. Add asparagus (ends trimmed, cut in half), chopped chicken (I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and prefer to use them, but you can use chopped chicken breast, as well) to the same skillet, sprinkle red pepper flakes and salt over all of the ingredients in the skillet, and cook on medium heat, occasionally stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, and the asparagus is cooked to your liking (crunchy or crunchy-soft), about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add chopped roma tomatoes, chopped fresh basil leaves, and chopped garlic to the skillet with chicken, cook on medium heat about 3- 5 minutes until the tomatoes release some of their juices. Remove from heat. Taste, and add more salt to taste, if needed. Cover with lid and keep off heat.
- Cook pasta according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain, and add cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Reheat on low heat, mix everything well, add more seasonings (salt and pepper), if desired. Remove from heat.
- At this point, when the pasta and vegetables are off heat, you can add more high quality olive oil, which is really tasty. Or you can add more olive oil from the jar from the sun-dried tomatoes.
