Penne With Chicken
Ingredients
3/4 lb. boneless chicken breasts
1-1/2 tsp. olive oil
1/2 C. green onion; chopped
3 garlic cloves; crushed
28 oz. italian tomatoes; with juice
12 fresh basil leaves; chopped
1 can pitted ripe olives; drained
1/2 tsp. hot pepper flakes; crushed
10 oz. penne; or other tube pasta
3 oz. partly-skimmed mozzarella; diced
1 Tbsp. fresh parsley; chopped
1/2 C. fresh parmesan; grated
Cooking Instructions
Add enough water to the skinned chicken to cover it. Poach chicken in simmering water (uncovered) until chicken is no longer pink. Allow chicken to cool in poaching liquid. Remove chicken from poaching liquid and chop it into small or bite-size pieces. Save the poaching liquid to add to the water you’re going to cook the pasta in. In large non-stick pan, cook the onion and garlic in heated olive oil until softened. Add hot pepper flakes and tomatoes and juice. Cook for about 30 minutes over medium. Heat until sauce thickens. Cook penne in poaching liquid with additional water as needed. Combine chicken with the sauce mixture in serving bowl. Add parsley and cheese. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve immediately.
