Ingredients

• 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lb Boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced
• 8 oz Mushrooms, sliced
• 14 oz Crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried basil
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 0 Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Add the red and green bell peppers and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Mix well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 7

Slice or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and stir it back into the sauce.

Step 8

Serve the sauce over the cooked fettuccine. Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
