How to Make Basil Chicken Over Angel Hair Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of angel hair pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Saute until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 pound of cooked chicken breast (cubed), 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a dash of your favorite hot pepper sauce.
- Reduce heat to medium, cover the skillet, and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is heated through and the tomatoes are softened. Add 1-2 tablespoons of Italian salad dressing if desired for a richer sauce.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce.
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
