Biff's Chicken and Pasta

This another of my series of Solo Meals, that will make a nice meal for one, or by adding another cup of dried pasta and served with a salad, could make a light lunch for two.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1  boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1⁄2 cup green bell pepper, diced
• 1⁄2 cup onion, diced
• 1  clove garlic, peeled and diced
• 1  cup  dried pasta (I like rotini)
• 1⁄4 teaspoon curry powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 1  tablespoon butter
• 3⁄4 cup  chicken stock

Directions

1. First, mix the curry, paprika, salt, and the pepper with the chicken that has been cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
2. Cook the pasta in 2 quarts of salted water for about 5 minutes.
3. While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan and saute the onions until nearly transparent, then add the chicken, bell pepper, and garlic.
4. Continue to stir until the chicken cubes are white on all sides.
5. Add the chicken stock (or if you wish beer) and about a quarter of a cup of the water from the pasta pot, and then the drained pasta.
6. Heat the mixture for and additional 3 minutes or until the pasta is cooked to the desired degree of doneness.
