Ingredients

  • 300 grams roasted red peppers
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 220 grams chicken breast
  • 100 grams tomato sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon spicy smoked papria
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground oregano
  • 200 ml. chicken broth
  • 300 grams low fat evaporated milk
  • 120 grams wholegrain macaroni uncooked
  • 100 grams soft goat cheese
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat some olive oil in a pan and sautee chicken until no longer pink. Remove it from pan.
  • Add minced garlic, red peppers (cut into strips), tomato paste, broth and milk and stir.
  • Puree with an inmersion blender. If you don't own one, use your food processor.
  • Put chicken back into the pan and stir to cover with the sauce.
  • Add uncooked macaroni and boil them in the sauce until they are completely cooked. This depends on the kind of pasta you're using, but it should take 10-15 minutes.
  • You can also make just the sauce and then stir in cooked pasta, but I made it all in one pan.
  • Add crumbled goat cheese and enjoy!

Notes

I used jarred peppers.
Penne and macaroni work well if you're making it all in the same pan. If you want to use a different kind of pasta, I think it's best to boil it first!
