Easy, healthy pasta throw-together. 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) |
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (dry in package, not packed in oil. if you do use the kind in oil, i suggest rinsing them first) |
Directions:
1. Heat skillet on medium. Spray with nonstick spray.
2. 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.).
3. Toss in onion and garlic. Stir 1 minute.
4. Add chicken. Stir and cook 3-5 minutes, until chicken is mostly cooked through. At this point, I sprinkled with some ground pepper.
5. Add can of diced tomatoes and half of basil.
6. Simmer 3-5 minutes, until basil is wilted.
7. Add sun-dried tomatoes and rest of basil.
8. Simmer another 2 minutes or so, to let the sun-dried tomatoes soften.
9. Spoon on top of pasta. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese & enjoy!
