Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 10 oz gluten-free pasta of your choice
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on both sides; about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  5. Sauté the onions and garlic in the same skillet until fragrant (about 3 minutes).
  6. Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the coconut milk, and bring it to a simmer.
  7. Add sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and let it cook for 10 more minutes or until it’s cooked through.
  9. Boil pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  10. Mix cooked pasta into the chicken and sauce. Garnish with fresh basil.

Notes

Cook the pasta al dente for better texture. Consider using shrimp or tofu as protein alternatives. Adjust spice levels according to preference. Adding seasonal veggies can enhance flavor and nutrition.
