Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | Chicken breasts |
| 1 | Chicken breast |
| 1/2 | Cup olive oil |
| 1 | Cup red wine vinegar |
| 4 | Pasta |
Instructions:
-
Boil Pasta: Fill a large saucepan with water and set it on high heat. Allow it to come to a vigorous boil, then add the pasta. Cook until it reaches the desired al dente texture, then rinse it with hot water and set it aside.
-
Prepare Chicken: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and pour 1/3 cup of red wine vinegar over them. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until it is fully cooked through. Ensure the chicken simmers lightly in the vinegar by periodically pouring more vinegar over the top while cooking.
-
Slice Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it carefully from the pan and slice it into strips. Return the sliced chicken to the pan, keeping it warm on the lowest heat setting. It’s acceptable for the chicken to develop a slight golden brown color, but be cautious not to let it dry out.
-
Prepare Sauce: Empty a can of spaghetti sauce into a separate saucepan. Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it is thoroughly heated. For those seeking a heartier sauce, consider adding chopped vegetables such as tomatoes, green peppers, onions, zucchini, broccoli, or carrots to the mix.
-
Combine and Serve: Add the cooked chicken to the sauce before serving, ensuring it is well-coated. Alternatively, pour the sauce over the cooked pasta and top it with pieces of chicken. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors of this Red Wine Vinegar Chicken With Pasta dish!
