• 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more, to taste
• 3 cups rotini pasta
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, or more, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium high heat.

Stir in chicken and cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes.

Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring often, until onions have become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in chicken broth, tomatoes, milk, red pepper flakes, pasta, salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 13-16 minutes.

Stir in barbecue sauce and cheese until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.

Serve immediately.
