This simple pasta bake works healthy chicken breast recipes to lose weight on its own or can be jazzed up with added ingredients. Our chicken and tomato pasta bake is topped with mozzarella cheese for a tasty, gooey finish.
This chicken and tomato dish has a lovely rich garlic and tomato sauce and is topped with masses of melting mozzarella cheese for a creamy topping. You can choose any shape of dried pasta. For this recipe we’ve used spirals, but shells, twists or short-cut macaroni will work just as well. Serve this dish with our homemade garlic bread. Add the chicken and fry for a further 5 mins, until browned all over. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar and basil.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and simmer gently for 15 mins. Meanwhile, boil the pasta shapes in a large pan of lightly salted water according to the packet instructions. Drain the pasta shapes and stir in to the chicken and tomato sauce. Transfer to a shallow heatproof dish and sprinkle over the grated mozzarella. Bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
