Ingredients

  • 1 kg skinless boneless chicken thighs

  • fresh pepper, to season

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped

  • 2 227-g pkgs cremini mushrooms

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 796-mL cans whole plum tomatoes, cut up with kitchen shears

  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary

  • 450 g rotini pasta

  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • SPRINKLE chicken thighs with 1/2 tsp salt. Season with fresh pepper. Heat an extra-large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, then chicken. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 min per side. Transfer to a plate.

  • ADD remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then onion, bell peppers, mushrooms and garlic to pan. Cook until onion and mushrooms are soft, 7 to 10 min. Add cut up tomatoes to pan along with thyme leaves, rosemary and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Return chicken and any juices to the pan.

  • BOIL, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, until chicken is tender and sauce is slightly thickened, about 20 min.
