About Penne pasta with tomato and chicken

Penne Pasta with Tomato and Chicken is a hearty Italian-inspired dish that combines tender penne pasta with a savory tomato-based sauce and lean, protein-rich chicken. Often seasoned with garlic, basil, and oregano, this vibrant meal captures the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. The tomatoes provide a robust source of vitamins A and C, while the chicken offers essential muscle-building protein. Opting for whole-grain penne can boost fiber content, supporting digestion and prolonged energy. However, the dish’s healthiness can vary depending on portion sizes, added oils, and any cheese or cream included in the recipe. Keeping the sauce light and fresh and including a side of steamed vegetables can round out the meal for balanced nutrition. Perfect for a wholesome lunch or dinner, this dish celebrates simple yet flavorful ingredients.
