Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp all purpose flour

Instructions
- Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion.
- Brown the chicken cubes with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute for a minute.

- Stir in the bouillon, water, diced tomatoes, pasta, salt, pepper, paprika, and corn.
