Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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)

Steps:

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!
