Cooking Steps

Boil penne
1
  • Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (use same for 4 servings).
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • To the boiling water, add penne. Cook for 12-14 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water.
  • Strain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
Cook chicken and peppers
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken and peppers. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; work in batches if needed.) (NOTE: It's okay if the chicken doesn't cook all the way through in this step.)
Cook sauce
4
  • To the same pan, add butter chicken sauce, chicken stock powder and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) sugar. Cook for 2-4 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is cooked through.**
  • To the pot with penne, add sauce, half the yogurt and 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) reserved pasta water. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add more reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.) Season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat.
Finish and serve
5
  • Divide penne between bowls.
  • Dollop remaining yogurt over top, then sprinkle with cilantro.

If you've opted to get chicken thighs, pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook diced chicken.
