Chicken Rotini

I've cooked more new stuff these past two weeks that I feel like I'm spoiling anyone following this blog!  It makes me happy though.  Not just to be able to make new meals, but to have the time to actually make a meal.

Tonight was a "must use the chicken in the fridge before it goes bad" night.  And it was delicious!

What you need:
3-4 skinless, boneless chicken breast - cut into bite size chunks
24 oz (3 cups) pasta sauce of your choice ( I used tomato & basil)
2 1/2 C. rotini pasta, cooked al dente
4 oz  mozzarella cheese, shredded.  ( half a small bag of pre-shredded cheese)

Pre-heat oven 450 degrees F.
Start a pot of water to boil.  (I used the pan in the picture, from stove top to oven)
Cut up chicken and carefully place in water.
Once boiling, use a large slotted spoon remove chicken  to a bowl, set aside.
Add rotini pasta and continue boil for approx 7 minutes. Drain and put back in pan.
Dump chicken in with pasta, add sauce and stir until all coated.
Top with cheese and bake 8 minutes or until cheese is lightly toasty looking.

Serve with garlic bread and dig in!
