Chicken And Tomato Basil Pasta

Chicken and Tomato Basil Pasta

Ingredients: Makes about 6 average sized servings.

• Chicken breast 1 – 2 depending on the size cut into bite sized pieces
• 1 -2 pint jars tomato basil sauce (or 1 jar store pasta sauce)
• 1 ball of fresh mozzarella cheese cut into cubes
• 3 cloves garlic or to your own personal taste.
• 1 small or 1/2 large onion chopped
• 1 medium bell pepper chopped
• 1 box of Rotini or the pasta of your choice
• shaved Parmesan for topping
• Fresh fennel microgreens for topping
• EVOO
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. I always save a little pasta water in case I want to add it to the sauce for more moisture. Sometimes I use it and sometimes I don’t.

Sauté and season the chicken breast in EVOO till just done. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Sauté and season the onion and bell pepper in skillet for about 5 minutes and add garlic toward the end of that cooking time.

Pour the tomato basil sauce into skillet and heat through, add chicken, and mozzarella cheese, Cook till chicken in heated through and cheese is just beginning to melt but not totally melted.

Top the pasta with sauce, shaved parmesan, and fennel micros.
