Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and lemon pepper, if using, and brown skins of drumsticks on both sides 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside (Chicken will not be fully cooked at this point.)
- Add the other tablespoon of oil to the pot and add the carrots. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add potatoes, onion, and zucchini. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Add pasta to pot and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until pasta is slightly toasted, but not burned. Set aside.
- Add the sauce and garlic to the pot and stir. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Place chicken, chicken broth, sautéed veggies, and bring to a boil, lower heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add pasta and a couple of stalks of green onions and simmer for 3 to 5 more minutes.
- Check the salt and adjust to taste before serving.
- Serve in bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro and lime or lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- Pasta will absorb a lot of the liquid. To reheat leftovers, you may want to add additional broth.
- This dish can be made adding cooked shredded or chopped chicken.
