Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Saute the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the bell pepper and carrot to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, dried basil, and cooked pasta. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the pasta mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.
7. Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the Italian chicken and vegetable pasta skillet hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Special Tips or Variations:
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, spinach, or broccoli to increase the vegetable content of the dish.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil.
- You can use any type of pasta you prefer, but whole wheat pasta adds extra fiber and nutrients to the dish.
