- 8 ounce bacon chopped (about 8 slices)
- 8 ounce chicken breast boneless and skinless, cut into small pieces (1 large)
- 1 large onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes (1 can)
- ½ cup chicken broth low sodium
- 2 tablespoon sriracha or any other hot sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions.
- Add the bacon to a large skillet and cook on medium-high heat until it starts to render fat.
- Add the chicken, onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for 7 to 10 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink and is cooked through.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth and sriracha. Add the sour cream and stir. Bring to a boil then turn down the heat to a low.
- Stir in the pasta and the mozzarella cheese. Make sure all the pasta is covered in the cheese and sauce.
- Remove from heat, garnish with parmesan cheese and serve.
Notes
- Use extra lean chicken breast to keep the dish lighter and healthier.
- Cook pasta al dente to maintain a firm texture when mixed with the sauce.
- Stir the bacon occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spiciness to your liking.
- Freshly grate Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and a smooth, creamy finish.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition and flavor.
