Ingredients:
Chicken cut up (however much you want, about 1 - 1 1/2 breasts) and seasoned w/ poultry seasoning and salt and pepper.
olive oil
sweet onion
garlic
can of diced tomatoes
penne (pasta)
arugula (green leaves like spinach)
basil (fresh or dried)
Parmesan and mozzarella cheese
Begin by boiling water, once rolling add your penne.
While cooking penne heat a 10-12" frying pan to medium heat and add your olive oil, about 2-3 table spoons. Once oil is hot, add your chicken and brown on all sides. When it is about half way through cooking add some chopped onion ~ 1/2 cup and some grated garlic to the pan. Once chicken is done and onion is tender, add your can of diced tomatoes and let simmer for a few minutes.
By this point the penne should be done. Add about a 1/2 cup of the starchy water from the penne into your frying pan and let it simmer down. Then add your drained penne right into the skillet.
roughly chop up a large portion of arugula and add it to the penne. It will begin to whilt around the chicken penne as you stir it. Then add some basil and your grated mozzarella and Parmesan, however much you like.
Give it a good toss, and serve hot!
This recipe might sound complicated but it is actually really simple and fast. You can make this in under 25 minutes. Don't be afraid of trying something new like arugula, it is very delicious and healthy. * when you buy it, get it from broulims next to the spinach and basil, not albertons. Albertons will rip you off!
Also, a good tip when cooking with any meat is to always season it before you cook it! It will make your meals so much tastier. And, garlic is good in everything, use it!
