Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch cubes, about 3 breasts
- 1 large onion chopped
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8 ounce penne uncooked
- 24 ounce marinara sauce 1 jar
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 cups chicken broth low sodium or no sodium added
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 leaves fresh basil roughly chopped
- Parmesan Cheese for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and until the chicken starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook for another 3 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent. Stir in the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
- Finish the pasta: Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, including the penne, and stir. Bring everything a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more broth if needed, though mine had enough liquid.
- Garnish and serve: Top with basil, parmesan cheese, and serve.

Notes
- Your penne arrabbiata will last 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, you can use the microwave or the stovetop.
- If you want to reheat on the stove, add the leftover pasta to a skillet over medium heat. You can add a splash of chicken broth as the pasta heats back up in case the sauce starts to dry out.
