In this typically rustic preparation of an Italian classic, we coat our chicken thighs with Italian spices and sear them before finishing them off in a simmering, garlicky, red wine-reduced stew of crushed tomatoes, olives, basil, and mushrooms. The hearty sauce and tender chicken are spooned over angel hair pasta for a filling meal you’ll crave again and again.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Put a colander in the sink. Throughly rinse produce and pat dry. Mince garlic. Slice kalamata olives. Quarter mushrooms. Rinse chicken and pat dry.
-
2 Cook the Pasta
Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook about 4 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water. Strain in colander, return to pot, and toss with olive oil. Set aside.
-
3 Sear the Chicken
Season chicken with half the Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Place chicken in pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate and return pan to heat. No need to wipe clean.
-
4 Make the Sauce
Add 1 tsp. olive oil to the pan used for chicken then add garlic and mushrooms. Cook 2 minutes, then add red cooking wine and cook for an additional minute. Add remaining Italian seasoning, crushed tomatoes, sugar, chicken base packets, olives, basil (reserving some for garnish), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
-
5 Finish the Dish
Return chicken to the pan and reduce to a simmer. Cook about 4-6 minutes, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees. Rest chicken a few minutes after removing from pan. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water 1 Tbsp. at a time until thinned out.
-
6 Plate the Dish
Divide pasta between two bowls or plates. Ladle sauce over pasta and top with chicken breasts.
