- While pasta cooks, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Meanwhile, cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Add chicken and garlic to skillet; cook 5 minutes or until chicken is done, stirring occasionally. Add broth, tomatoes, and crushed pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes.
