Instructions

1
Heat olive oil in a large pot. Sear the chicken thighs on both sides (about 4 minutes per side) until golden brown. Remove the meat from the pot and place it on a plate.
2
In the same pot, add the onion, carrot, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables soften. Then stir in the mushrooms and garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
3
Return the chicken to the pot. Add the tomato paste, tomato concentrate, stock, oregano, salt, and pepper. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 30–35 minutes until the meat is completely tender.
4
While the sauce is cooking, cook the whole wheat pasta "al dente" in salted water according to the package instructions.
5
Remove the chicken from the sauce, shred it into small pieces using two forks, and return it to the sauce. Stir to combine the flavors.
6
Mix the pasta with the sauce or serve them separately. Garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan.
