The technology of cooking pasta with chicken fillet and tomato paste
We heat the pan and pour vegetable oil into it.
At the same time, cut the chicken into small pieces.
When the oil is hot, pour pieces of meat into it. Fry the fillet until golden brown, for this we need no more than ten minutes. Mix the meat periodically so that each piece is covered with a delicious crust. Plate temperature is average. So the meat "seizes" and does not release the juice. Inside, the pieces will be tender, and outside - rosy. Salt the dish at this stage is not necessary.
After ten minutes, we send the peeled and chopped onions into the pan with chicken fillet. Mix the onion slices with the meat. We continue to cook meat for three to five minutes.
We introduce the garlic to the meat and immediately send to it the whole tomato paste provided for by the recipe. Slightly reduce the heat under the skillet and cook for another five minutes with continuous stirring. After this time, sprinkle with basil the contents of the pan.
Paste dry pasta on top of the meat contents. Level them and fill them with hot water. Remember that you do not need to get involved in this process: the water should cover the pasta a little bit. Now check the dish for salt and, if necessary, add liquid.
Cover the pan with a lid. We bring its contents to a boil and then, reducing the fire to a minimum, simmer the dish. Cooking time should be taken into account, focusing on what pasta you have. Larger instances will take a little longer. If the pasta is not too large, then it will take a little less time. Basically, the dish is cooked for at least 12-15 minutes. It will be better if you take a sample from the prepared pasta, so there will be less chance that the dish will have time to digest.
If all the liquid has evaporated during cooking, add a little boiling water so that the contents do not stick to the bottom of the dishes.
Here you have the fragrant and delicious chicken and pasta dish cooked in a pan! And pleasant aromas attract visitors to visit you. Treat them with this unusually delicious and hearty dinner.
To serve the chicken fillet with pasta, finely chop various greens. Parsley and dill fit very harmoniously.
