Penne With Chicken

Ingredients

200 gr chicken breasts
7 ml olive oil
60 gr green onion
3 garlic
850 gr ital
12 basil leaves
1 package pitted ripe olives
1 gr pepper flakes
130 gr penne
40 gr skim mozzarella
2 gr parsley
40 gr parmesan

Instructions

Earlier in the day, add enough water to the skinned chicken to cover it. Poach chicken in simmering water (uncovered) until chicken is no longer pink. This will take about 8 minutes. Allow chicken to cool in poaching liquid. (I put it in the refrig. rather than leave it at room temp. Cooling it in the liquid makes it more tender) Later, remove chicken from poaching liquid and chop it into small or bite-size pieces. Save the poaching liquid to add to the water you're going to cook the pasta in. In large non-stick pan, cook the onion and garlic in heated olive oil until softened. Add hot pepper flakes and tomatoes and juice. Cook about 30 minutes over med. heat until sauce thickens. Cook penne in poaching liquid with additional water as needed. Combine chicken with the sauce mixture in serving bowl. Add parsley and cheese. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve immediately.
