QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN AND TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Boil pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle chicken with seasoned salt, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in drained black olives and mushrooms. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden brown. Strain chicken juices from pan, and reduce heat to low. Stir in tomatoes, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Toss the pasta and chicken mixture together, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve.

CREAMY TOMATO-CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and season with chili powder, salt, and pepper.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear chicken in the hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a clean plate.
• Place garlic in the leftover juices in the pan and saute over medium heat until aromatic, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce and heavy cream; reduce heat to low. Add spinach and basil and cook and stir until spinach wilts. Add chicken to the sauce and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the centers.
• While chicken mixture cooks, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
• Serve chicken mixture on top of pasta.

CHICKEN TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet.
• Pound chicken breast until it is an even thickness.
• Add chicken to skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. (Guideline: On the first side, cook until the meat appears white nearly all the way through with just a touch of pink remaining at the top. Then turn over and cook for the same amount of time again.).
• Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
• Sautee onion and garlic for about one minute, adding more oil to the pan if necessary to prevent burning.
• Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 3-4 minutes while you cut the chicken into strips.
• To serve: Place one cup of pasta on each plate. Cover with half of the sauce. Put half of the chicken on top of the sauce. Sprinkle half of the feta cheese over everything. Serve with soft roll or bread stick if desired.
