Instructions

Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion, sliced red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the cooked whole wheat spaghetti to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle more red pepper flakes.
Serve the Low Calorie Spicy Chicken Pasta garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy hot!
