SMOKED TOMATO AND CHICKEN PASTA
Smoked chicken is given a husky taste that complements the inherent sweetness of the fowl and brings a hearty note to the pasta it's combined with. The sweeter-smelling the wood used, the more alluring the flavor it leaves behind. Hickory or fruitwoods, maple, oak and alder chips, dried grapevine trimmings or herb branches lend a sweet, firm flavor to food cooked in a closed container above it.

Steps:
- Place the wood chips in the bottom of a stove-top smoker and place the chicken on the rack over the chips. Place over medium heat until the wood begins to smolder. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes.
- Sprinkle the tomatoes with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Remove the chicken from the rack and add the tomatoes, cut side up. Cover and smoke until the tomatoes are soft, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, take the chicken off the bone and shred. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain. Cut the tomato pieces in half crosswise.
- Place the pasta in a large bowl and toss with the chicken, tomatoes, remaining salt, pepper and basil. Divide among 4 plates and serve.
Tips:
- Chop the vegetables evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly and at the same time.
- Use a large pot or skillet: This will give the chicken and vegetables plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Season the chicken generously: This will help it to develop flavor as it cooks.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: This is important for safety and to ensure that the chicken is tender.
- Add the vegetables to the pot and cook until they are tender-crisp: This will give them a slight crunch and help them to retain their nutrients.
- Add the tomatoes and cook until they are softened: This will help to create a flavorful sauce.
- Stir in the pasta and cook until it is al dente: This means that the pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it.
- Season the pasta to taste: Add additional salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
- Serve the pasta immediately: This is when it is at its best, with the sauce still hot and the pasta al dente.
Conclusion:
Chicken and tomato pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a good source of protein and vegetables. This dish can be easily customized to your liking, so feel free to add or remove ingredients as desired. Serve it with a side of garlic bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
