Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 12 ounces spaghetti, uncooked
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their juice), chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Break the spaghetti in half and add it to the pot, making sure it is submerged in the liquid.

Step 6

Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot. Cover with a lid and simmer over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the spaghetti is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 7

Remove the lid and stir in grated Parmesan cheese. Let the mixture rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
