Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 lb. Ground Chicken
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 8 oz. Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1/4 c. Diced Red Onion
  • 1 tbsp. Fresh Basil, chopped
  • 1- 14oz. can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
  • 2 c. Chicken Broth
  • 8 oz. Dry Pasta (I used Rigatoni)
  • 1/4 c. Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Brown your ground chicken by heating the oil in a large skillet and cook until the meat is no longer pink. 

  2. 2

    Next, add your garlic, sliced mushrooms, diced onion and chopped fresh basil and sauté until the vegetables start to soften. 

  3. 3

    Add the fire roasted tomatoes (including the juice), chicken broth and your favorite pasta (approximately half a box if you're eyeballing it). 

  4. 4

    Finally, Cover the skillet with the lid and reduce the heat to medium. Cook 15-20 minutes until the pasta absorbs the liquid and is al dente. (Cooking times may vary depending on the size pasta you use. With Rigatoni, it took 20 minutes, whereas if you use macaroni, it may only take 10-12 minutes.)Sprinkle the grated cheese on top and serve.
