Parmesan Chicken Pasta

This is from Meals on the Move: Rush Hour Recipes by Holly Clegg.

Parmesan Chicken Pasta

Ingredients: 2 TBSPS olive oil, 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast, 1 TBSP minced garlic, 1 onion chopped, 1 tsp. dried thyme, 1 tsp. dried oregano, 1 tsp. dried basil, 1 c. chopped tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, 1 (16 oz.) package bow tie pasta ( I use whole wheat), 1/3 c. grated parmesan cheese ( I use fresh, and mine is closer to 1/2 c.).

In a large skillet coated with non-stick cooking spray, heat the olive oil and cook the chicken for about 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the garlic and onions and continue cooking until the onion is tender. Add the thyme, oregano, basil, and tomatoes and continue cooking until the tomatoes are well heated, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to package directions; drain. Toss the pasta with the chicken and add the cheese and mix until heated through. Makes 8 servings.
