Add the tomatoes; cook 3 minutes. Add the broth, cooked chicken, oregano, thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoons of salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 30 minutes. 4. Meanwhile heat a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni; cook until al dente according to package directions. 5. Stir the basil and red pepper flakes into the sauce; adjust the seasoning.
