Amount | Ingredient | Preparation |
500 g | | pasta | cooked |
2 tbsp | | Olive oil |
1 kg | | chicken breast |
2 tbsp | | Tomato paste |
3 cloves | | garlic | minced |
400 g | | crushed tomatoes | in can |

Instructions
- Brown the chicken breasts in a bit of olive oil, to give them a nice
crisp outside. Set them aside.
- Keep the skillet warm, and add tomato paste, garlic, fennel seed
and red pepper flakes. Then pour in the crushed tomatoes, and
get the sauce simmering.
- Pour in the heavy cream along with some Parmesan and kale.
- When the kale looks wilty, add the seared chicken breasts back to
the skillet, and cook until the chicken is done.
- Serve with pasta. We like to top the finished chicken skillet with
cheese and fresh basil.
Notes:
Recipe works well with chicken pieces as well instead of chicken breast.
