1 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
4 cups of penne
1/2 cup of basil, chopped

– Cook the chicken over medium heat in a dutch oven. No oil needed, just drizzle 1T of water from time to time to saute. Remove from the pot and place on plate.
– Add the onion and garlic to the pot and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat and simmer, cover until the vegetables are tender – about 30 minutes.
– Add the chicken back to the pot and heat until the chicken is hot again.
– Add in the cooked pasta, basil and cheese and stir.
