Cowboy Chicken Pasta with Coconut Cream Sauce

This is a classic cowboy pasta recipe with a twist! We’re going to use a creamy coconut milk sauce to give this dish an extra flavor.

1. Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package’s directions. Then, reserve half a cup of the pasta water and drain the rest.
2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-size pieces and set aside.
3. On medium heat, heat up two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken and cook for about five minutes on each side until it’s golden brown.
4. Next, chop up half an onion and add it to the skillet with the chicken. Mince three cloves of garlic and add it as well, cook for about three minutes or until the onions are soft.
5. Add a can of coconut milk and 1/4 cup of chicken broth to the skillet and stir well. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about ten minutes or until it’s thickened.
6. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, then add some red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
7. Add the cooked pasta into your skillet with the sauce and toss it together. Don’t worry if the sauce is too thick, just take the reserved pasta water and add a little bit at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
8. Serve hot and enjoy this hearty cowboy-inspired chicken pasta with coconut cream sauce!
