Garlic Chicken Pasta

Garlic Chicken Pasta

By Natalie Giron

4 chicken breasts
1 lb penne pasta (or your favorite)
butter
garlic cloves
basil

Boil water for pasta. Saute chicken in skillet and season with salt, pepper, and anything else you like. I use red pepper, garlic salt or season all. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. When pasta is done, add butter and garlic. I add the butter and garlic to taste but you can start with at least 2 Tbl of butter and 1-2 garlic cloves. Toss the cooked chicken with pasta and sprinkle with basil and Parmesan cheese shreds. If you don't want to use garlic cloves, garlic salt is really good too. A little goes a long way, so add to taste.
