Tips
- Prep your ingredients: Chop the chicken, tomatoes, and garlic before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process go much faster.
- Use a large skillet: This will give you plenty of room to cook the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding the pan.
- Season the chicken: Before you cook the chicken, season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to give it flavor.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check this by using a meat thermometer.
- Use a good quality pasta: The type of pasta you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose a pasta that is made with high-quality durum wheat.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will really make this dish shine. Choose a sauce that is packed with flavor, such as a tomato sauce or a pesto sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
