Instructions:
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 375F. Get a large pan, fill it with water, and let it boil. Cook the pasta for 1 minute less than recommended time on the pack. Once cooked, drain.
Step 2:
While cooking the pasta, add oil to a large frying pan and place over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken, and cook until just sealed for about 5 minutes.
Step 3:
Add chopped onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Next, add chopped peppers, salt, pepper, garlic, tomato puree, oregano, and thyme. Mix and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4:
Add the tomatoes and cream. Mix and bring it to a gentle bubble.
