A delightful Mediterranean-inspired chicken pasta dish with fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the onion to enhance its flavor.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from burning.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
Garlic cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
Add the cubed chicken breast and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Ensure the chicken is evenly browned on all sides.
Season with salt and Herbes de Provence, then stir to combine.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Add the asparagus and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the asparagus is tender.
Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency later.
Add the chopped tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil to the chicken mixture.
Adding the tomatoes at the end preserves their fresh flavor.
Combine the chicken mixture with the drained pasta and toss well.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
