Ingredients:
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 heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, 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. Sauté the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrots until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the milk and fresh basil. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
7. Serve the Italian chicken and vegetable pasta hot, garnished with grated cheese and additional basil.
Special Tips or Variations:
- Feel free to add more vegetables like zucchini or broccoli to increase the nutritional value of the dish.
- For a creamier sauce, you can substitute low-fat milk with light cream or half-and-half, but keep in mind it will increase the fat content of the dish.
