Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 9 ounces penne
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 14 ounces chicken fillets (cut into bite-size chunks)

Seasonings:

  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 shallot (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika

Sauce:

  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp sambal oelek (more or less to taste)
  • 5.5 ounces cherry tomatoes
  • 1 ¾ cups puréed tomatoes
  • ½ cup cream 20% fat
  • 2 ounces grated Parmesan (more for serving)
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Boiling: Boil penne in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving ¼ cup cooking water.
  2. Searing: Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes until softened. Stir in seasonings and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
  3. Deglazing: Deglaze with chicken broth, scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to release brown bits. Add tomato paste and sambal, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute or until it darkens.
  4. Cooking: Add cherry tomatoes, cook for 2 minutes. Add puréed tomatoes, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in cream, Parmesan, and parsley, cook for 1 minute.
  5. Tossing: If the sauce looks too dry, add a splash of the pasta cooking water. Taste and adjust salt. Toss with penne, stir to coat.
  6. Serving: Divide pasta among bowls, top with Parmesan, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and extra black pepper. Enjoy!
