Pasta With Tikka Masala Chicken And Veggies

    Here is one of my favorite dinner recipes that I keep making again and again. I love cooking pasta with different simmer sauces. Almost all of them I buy from Aldi, as there are always a great selection of different kinds and seasonal specials. Some interesting sauces could also be found at any grocery store's Asian or international foods section. 

The whole idea is easy and simple: I just fry chicken with veggies, add sauce, simmer it and then mix with pasta.

Today I had a jar of Tikka Masala Indian simmer sauce from Aldi (you can also find it at regular grocery store's Asian foods section). For veggies I only had one onion, but usually I would add some mushrooms or bell peppers too. Plus a pack of fettuccine pasta and 3 chicken breasts. You can use other kinds of pasta as well, and it also tastes good with cooked rice or mashed potatoes.

Cut half of medium size onion, set aside.

Cut 3 chicken breasts into small cubes, start frying it with olive oil, add salt, pepper, garlic powder.

After about 5 mins add onion.

Meanwhile, boil pasta according to package directions (I always boil it for 15 mins).

Fry chicken with onion until chicken is fully cooked.

Turn heat to medium, add the whole jar of sauce, mix well.

Cover and simmer on medium low heat for 15 mins, stirring every 4-5 mins.

Drain pasta and add to the pot with chicken.

Mix well aaand it’s done! You can let it sit covered for a while before serving so the pasta gets more flavorful😉
