Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes

8 ounces spaghetti

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your heat preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve ½ cup of the cooking water; set aside.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper and add it to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Next, stir in the minced garlic, sliced red bell pepper, and zucchini. Continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender but still vibrant.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour in the undrained diced tomatoes, chicken broth, dried basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 5-7 minutes, which helps the flavors blend beautifully.

          Return Chicken and Add Spaghetti: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, then fold in the spaghetti. If the mixture seems dry, gradually add the reserved pasta water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Stir everything together thoroughly until heated through and evenly coated.

            Serve and Garnish: Distribute the chicken spaghetti among serving bowls. Finish each bowl with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and richness.
