Chicken Basil Pasta
Ingredients
- 2 cups rotini pasta (I used Muellers whole grain) ⓘ
- 3/4 lb chicken tenderloins, cut into bite-sized chunks (I used 6 frozen tenderloins, which was about 12 oz)
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped ⓘ
- 1 cup fresh basil, torn & packed ⓘ
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (garlic & onion) ⓘ
Instructions
- Heat skillet on medium. Spray with nonstick spray.
- Cook pasta according to directions. (I put the water on to boil while I'm cooking the garlic/onions/chicken, so the pasta is finished about the same time as the rest.).
- Toss in onion and garlic. Stir 1 minute.
- Add chicken. Stir and cook 3-5 minutes, until chicken is mostly cooked through. At this point, I sprinkled with some ground pepper.
- Add can of diced tomatoes and half of basil.
- Simmer 3-5 minutes, until basil is wilted.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes and rest of basil.
- Simmer another 2 minutes or so, to let the sun-dried tomatoes soften.
- Spoon on top of pasta. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese & enjoy!
