Notes On This Tomato Chicken Pasta
This easy, chicken and tomato pasta recipe is one of my faves to whip up on a busy evening, because it literally cooks in the time the pasta takes to boil.
It’s packed with flavour, with the garlic, oregano and rosemary flavouring the sauce, and big juicy bursts of tomatoes.
I like to serve mine with some gluten free garlic bread and use a good quality gluten free pasta like Rummo or Garofalo. It makes a big difference!

Ingredients and Substitutions
There’s a printable recipe card below for this cream tomato and chicken pasta recipe with the full quantities. But here are the main ingredients and ideas for any swaps.
- Gluten Free Pasta: Any shape works for this, but I like penne as it fills up with the sauce! This would also work with spaghetti or even gluten free gnocchi.
- Tomatoes: I usually use cherry tomatoes or plum tomatoes, but you can use larger tomatoes and chop them into chunks.
- Chicken Breast: Or chicken thigh. Omit for a vegetarian version.
- Onion: I use red onion but a brown onion would work fine.
- Garlic: Fresh minced garlic, frozen chopped garlic or garlic paste works.
- Herbs: I use a combination of oregano and rosemary.
- Vegetable Stock Pot: Ensure it’s gluten free, I use Knorr.
- Double Cream: Or heavy cream in the US. For a lighter version you could use crème fraîche or even a light cream cheese.
- Tomato Puree: Or tomato paste, to add colour and flavour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some FAQs about this easy chicken tomato pasta recipe. If you can’t find the answer to your question here or in the post above, please comment and I’ll try answer!
If you want to make extras for the next day, I recommend using a good quality gluten-free pasta, as cheaper supermarket ones can go really hard when chilled. Keep any leftovers in the fridge and either eat cold or reheat. Do not freeze.
To make this recipe gluten and dairy free, use a vegan cream replacement such as Elmlea Plant and omit the parmesan to serve.
