Ingredients

8 oz fettuccine
2 tsp olive or vegetable oil
¾ cup onion finely chopped
1 ½ cloves garlic finely chopped
2 ½ cups medium tomatoes chopped- I used grape tomatoes
3 cups chicken or turkey breast cooked and cubed
4 TBSP olive oil divided- flavored oils like garlic or basil are amazing!
3 TBSP chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
½ tsp salt
⅛ tsp red pepper sauce {optional}

Instructions

Prep: Start by cooking the pasta as directed on package, drain when cooked. Then, lightly toss with olive oil and cover to keep warm.
You also need the chicken cooked before assembling. I use half of a rotisserie chicken to help simplify this meal, but you can make your chicken at home if you'd like. Give this recipe for shredded chicken a try!
Assemble: Next, chop the onion and garlic clove into small pieces. Then, in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 TBSP of oil and cook the onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender.
Stir in the remaining 2 TBSP of oil, tomatoes, cooked chicken, basil, salt, and red pepper sauce (if desired). All ingredients except the fettuccine, then reduce the heat to medium.
Proceed to cover the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is hot, and the tomatoes are soft.
Serve: Plate the cooked fettuccine and scoop the tomato and chicken mixture over the pasta. Serve hot and enjoy!
