Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound chicken breast tenderloins
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
1 pound uncooked penne pasta
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut crosswise into thirds
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Spread the chicken breast tenderloins on the baking sheet and sprinkle with garlic salt and seasoned salt.
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Set aside; when cool enough to handle, cut tenderloins into bite-size pieces.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water, bring to a boil, and stir in penne. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until penne are cooked through but still slightly firm, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Transfer penne back to cooking pot and stir in butter and Parmesan cheese until pasta is coated.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; place asparagus into the hot oil and sprinkle with garlic salt. Cook and stir until asparagus are tender, about 7 minutes.
  • Transfer penne pasta into a large serving bowl and top with asparagus and chicken tenderloin pieces. Lightly mix asparagus and chicken into the pasta to serve.
