One Pot Meals with Chicken

I love an easy recipe. When life happens and I have failed to plan dinner, this is one of my favorite go-to recipes.

I always seem to have pasta and tomato sauce on hand, so that’s always helpful when I have failed to plan dinner. Just add a few strips of chicken and this recipe is a GO.

But seriously, this Tomato Basil Chicken is quick and easy, and all done in one pot. If you are looking for a quick and easy recipe to add to your list, this is a favorite.

Easy Tomato Basil Chicken Recipe

To make this One Pot Meal Chicken Recipe you will need (pre-cooked) chicken strips, rotini noodles, tomato basil sauce, fresh basil, and one finely chopped bell pepper. Here is what I like to use:

  • Barilla Blue Box Rotini
  • Barilla Blue Box Tomato Basil Sauce
  • chopped bell pepper
  • chicken strips (pre cooked)
  • fresh basil
  • salt and pepper to taste

To get started, you will want to cook the pasta according to the instructions. Add in the tomato basil sauce, chopped bell pepper, cooked chicken, and cover. Allow simmering for about 10 to 15 minutes to soften the bell pepper and allow the flavors to marinate together. Add salt and pepper as needed.

Top with fresh basil before serving.

This is such a quick and easy weeknight meal, and when you forget to plan for dinner because life got in the way, it’s the perfect throw together recipe. Not to mention, this One Pot meal Chicken Recipe is just plain delicious.

I love to use Barilla because they use simple ingredients, have no preservatives, are gluten-free, kosher, and made with non-GMO ingredients.
