14 - Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
15 - Spaghetti or any pasta you like

# Instructions:

01 - Start by warming a tablespoon of olive oil in a big pot over medium heat. Toss in the diced chicken, sprinkle some salt and pepper, and cook it until golden and done, about 7-8 minutes. Set the chicken aside once it’s ready.
02 - Pour in the other tablespoon of olive oil into the same pot. Add the chopped onions, garlic, bell pepper, zucchini, and carrots. Stir them occasionally and cook for around 5-7 minutes until they soften up.
03 - Add crushed tomatoes and pour in chicken stock. Stir everything around, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to grab all the flavorful bits.
04 - Sprinkle in oregano, basil, and sugar if you'd like. Stir the mixture well, then add the cooked chicken back into the pot.
05 - Bring everything to a boil, then cover the pot and let it simmer for 45-60 minutes. Stir it every now and then until the veggies get soft and the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
06 - Cook your pasta following the package directions. After draining, mix the pasta with the finished sauce. Top with fresh basil for a touch of flavor if you’d like.
