CHICKEN PARM PASTA TOSS

This one is really SUPER simple, and SUPER delicious. Everyone that tried it really loved it.
INGREDIENTS:
1LB CHICKEN- Cut up into bite size pieces
1 C. GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE- I actually used Mozzerella as well.
3 TB OLIVE OIL
1 POUND PENNE PASTA
2 TSP. POULTRY SEASONING
SALT AND PEPPER
2-3 GARLIC CLOVES- Grated
1 RED ONION-I grate it with the largest size hole, so that my kids who "dont like onions" cant tell they're in it.
2 PINTS GRAPE TOMATOES
LOTS AND LOTS OF FRESH CHOPPED BASIL- dried is fine too.

DIRECTIONS:
*Cook pasta to Al Dente - Remember to put lots of salt and some olive oil into the pot.
*Drizzle your Olive Oil in a LARGE skillet, once the oil is heated, cook chicken with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning until cooked through- til there's no pink left in the center- about 4 minutes.
*Once the Chicken is cooked, place the garlic and onion into the pot, and cook until soft- about 5 minutes.
*Once this is done, add the tomatoes, and cover. Let this simmer until the tomatoes burst. (You can help stragglers along with a potato masher or a whisk. Once this is done, add the cooked noodles and cheese, then toss. THEN YOU ARE DONE!
This was a Rachel Ray recipe that I alternated a little bit.
I made some garlic bread, and green beens to go along with this, and it was SO SUPER GOOD!
