Spaghetti with chicken, sweet peppers and tomatoes (in a pan)

The dish is interesting in that it is cooked in one pan, without first boiling the spaghetti. Dry pasta is placed in a frying pan with fried pieces of chicken meat and vegetables. During cooking, pasta is saturated with the flavors and aromas of related products. And as the liquid evaporates, it turns into a sauce that generously soaks the spaghetti and makes the dish complete!

Ingredients

• Spaghetti - 200 g
• Chicken fillet - 300 g
• Bulgarian red pepper - 100 g (0.5 pcs.)
• Tomato - 190 g (1 large)
