- Cook the Pasta: While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Combine Everything: Add the cherry tomatoes and onion to the skillet with the sauce. Cook for another 10 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender. Add the sliced chicken back to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
- Mix with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
