Herb and Chicken Pasta

I've made this before, but apparently haven't posted it. I reduced the amounts slightly, and didn't use the red pepper flakes. I added 1 Tbsp cornstarch to the chicken broth to thicken the sauce.

Herb and Chicken Pasta

  • 1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and reserve.
  2. Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper, basil, rosemary, Cajun seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add chicken and cook until browned. Remove chicken from skillet and stir in garlic and onions; cook and stir until clear.
  3. Return chicken to skillet over onion mixture and add broth. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside; spread mixture over pasta and serve.
