Who said preparing a nice pasta would be difficult? All you need to do is cook the pasta properly in boiling water, usually this is until it is soft and tender. Need some advice on cooking pasta, watch the videos in our section 'how to cook pasta'. The next step will be to cook the chicken, afterwards cutting it into small chunks. Watch out when cooking the chicken, rather don't touch the raw chicken with your bare hands. Instead for example use two forks to put the chicken in the pan. Also make sure the pan is hot, to indicate look if the butter gets a brownish color and the bubbles are a bit gone.
Put the cutted chicken into a pan and afterwards add the tomatos in juice to it. Peel and chop the unions and crush the garlic. When you are done, add it to the pan as well. Season your chicken pasta with some mixed herbs and serve out equally.
