One Pot Spicy Chicken Riggies

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into small chunks
  • 2 large roasted red peppers, sliced into thin strips
  • 6 hot cherry peppers, chopped and deseeded
  • 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup cooking sherry or white wine
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 lb Rigatoni
  • 1 cup pecorino romano or parmesan cheese
  • ½ stick butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons fresh basil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Crushed red pepper flakes, optional
Directions
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add in the garlic and chicken. Sauté the chicken until it is just browned on the outside but not cooked through.
  2. Stir in the roasted red peppers and hot cherry peppers, and sauté for a minute. Add in the crushed tomatoes and sherry or wine. Add in the water and pasta and bring to a low boil. (If there isn't enough liquid, add a bit more water.) Continue to cook, stirring often, until the pasta has cooked to al dente, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Reduce to low heat and add in the butter, basil, and salt. When the butter completely melts into the pasta, add in the cream and cheese. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top with additional cheese, basil, and red pepper flakes if you really like a lot of heat!
  4. Serve warm

One Pot Greek Chicken Pasta with Creamy Feta Wine Sauce

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 3 tablespoons capers
  • ⅓ cup pitted kalamata olives
  • 8 oz frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed, and dried well
  • 1 lb dry pasta
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 2 - 2½ cups chicken stock
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz feta cheese
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest, optional
  • Basil, shredded to garnish, optional
Directions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast cubes with salt and pepper and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Add in the garlic, shallots, capers, olives, and spinach, and continue to cook for 1 minute.
  2. Mix in the dry pasta. Add in the white wine and chicken stock, making sure there is enough to just cover the pasta. (If not, add a bit more chicken stock.) Season with dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a low boil and cook until pasta is al dente, about 15-20 minutes, stirring often. The wider the pot or skillet, the quicker the recipe will cook.
  3. Reduce to low heat and add in the heavy cream, feta cheese, and cherry tomatoes. Mix well and allow the feta to melt into the sauce. Continue to simmer for 5-10 minutes, checking the pasta to get to your desired consistency. Top with lemon zest and shredded basil, and serve.
