Delicious and relatively healthy & light pasta dish. This is modified from "The Low Fat Good Food Cookbook," which in turn modified from a restaurant, Villa Romano, in Nashville, TN.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: (French for "putting in place") Mise en place is a French culinary phrase which means "putting in place" or "getting ready". It refers to the practice of organizing and arranging ingredients and equipment before cooking. This will help you cook more efficiently and avoid any last-minute scrambles.
  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Look for tomatoes that are deep in color and free of blemishes.
  • Season your chicken generously: Don't be afraid to season your chicken with plenty of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure that you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook until softened: Once the chicken is cooked, add the tomatoes and cook until they are softened. This will help to create a flavorful sauce.
  • Stir in the angel hair pasta: Add the angel hair pasta to the pan and stir until it is coated in the sauce. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Once the pasta is cooked, garnish it with fresh herbs such as basil or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
