42 g butter unsalted
453.59 grams chicken breast skinless and boneless, cut into bite size pieces
16 g chili powder
0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
0.5 teaspoon salt or to taste
0.25 teaspoon pepper or to taste

6 green onions chopped
30 grams parsley fresh, chopped
242 ml heavy cream or half and half
118.29 ml chicken broth low sodium or no sodium added
112 grams mozarella cheese shredded
Instructions
1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until it's al dente (cooked until it's still firm
when bitten). Drain and set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the chicken to the skillet, then sprinkle with the chili powder, red chili flakes and season
with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and is cooked through, should
take about 5 minutes.
4. Add the tomatoes, green onions and parsley. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.
5. Add the half and half, chicken broth and cook until it comes to a boil.
6. Add the rotini pasta and stir everything together.
7. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and parsley if preferred. Serve while warm.
Notes
1. Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Make sure to refrigerate
within two hours of cooking. Keep in mind that the pasta will soak up all the sauce.
2. Make ahead: Make the sauce ahead, then refrigerate. When ready to serve cook the pasta,
then add the pasta to the sauce and cook until heated through.
