Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds (24 ounces) boneless chicken thighs
- 4 ounces chick pea penne pasta
- 1/2 medium white onion, diced
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 2 teaspoons minced or pressed fresh garlic
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup sherry cooking wine
- 3/4 cup canned, diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil; add chicken and brown 4 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time. Keep pan warm while you set up to cook the pasta.
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- While pasta is cooking, add to the skillet with the chicken, the diced white onion, diced pepper and diced celery. Reduce heat to medium and cook 4 minutes until vegetables are tender. Add minced garlic, cumin and crushed red pepper and cook 1 minute more. Add sherry, let bubble about 10 seconds, then add tomatoes and broth; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in center, about 12 minutes. Add pasta and cook to heat through, about 3 minutes.
- Turn off heat and stir in butter until melted.
