Pasta with Chicken and Vodka Sauce
Our family enjoys a wide range of pasta dishes, and this one is in our top 3. This is one of my favorite types of sauce. Ingredients 1 lb chicken breast 28 oz can diced tomatoes 8 oz can tomato sauce 8 oz heavy cream 16 oz penne regatta noodles 5 tablespoons butter (salted) 1 small - medium onion 1 cup parmesan cheese (shredded) - I also have additional to have at the table 5 fresh basil leaves roughly chopped (or to taste) 1/8 cup fresh chopped parsley 2 cloves garlic (chopped) 1/2 cup vodka 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste) salt pepper 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Cut chicken into small/medium cubes. In a large pan or Dutch oven, add olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove from the pan and set aside. To the same pan, add butter and let melt. Chop onion and garlic and add to the pan. Season with a pinch of pepper and salt. Cook for 5 min
