Chicken Pasta recipe

Here's another delicious Chicken Pasta recipe, this time with a tomato-based sauce:

Ingredients:

8 ounces (about 225 grams) of dried pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or any pasta of your choice)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup baby spinach leaves
Fresh basil leaves, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

Cook the chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.

Prepare the tomato sauce: In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed, and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.

Add tomatoes and broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes (including the juice) and chicken broth. Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
