One Pot Chicken & Pasta with Side Salad
Directions
- 1Place the chicken thighs in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
- 2Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for a few minutes on each side until golden.
- 3In the meantime, peel and slice one onion.
- 4Flip the chicken.
- 5Slice the onion straight into the pot over the chicken and let it soften in all the flavor.
- 6In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the broth and tomato paste until smooth.
- 7Once the chicken is nicely browned, add the bowtie pasta directly into the pot.
- 8Pour the tomato broth mixture right over the chicken and pasta and bring everything to a boil.
- 9Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes until the pasta is tender and the chicken is fully cooked through.
- 10While everything cooks, prepare the side salad: chop the lettuce, cucumbers, yellow pepper, and radishes.
- 11Drizzle the salad with olive oil and fresh lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and toss.
