Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup canned sweet corn (drained)
  • 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 lb rigatoni pasta
  • Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to boil and cook the rigatoni until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add mushrooms and corn to the same skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the tomato paste. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat, add heavy cream, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and oregano. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan and add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until evenly coated in sauce.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and Parmesan if desired.
