Chicken Donna

Description: One night I was at a loss for what to make. I took some ingredients on hand, and in a half hour had a tasty meal.

Ingredients:

• 5 chicken cutlets, cut in 1 inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped onions or 1 1/2 tablespoons generous splash onion juice
• 1 (1/2 lb) penne or 1 (1/2 lb) other pastas
• basil
• oregano
• parsley
• fresh ground pepper

Steps:

1. Saute chopped cutlets in olive oil.
2. Toss and brown.
3. Throw in garlic and onion, saute another two minutes.
4. Drain off less than a 1/4 of the canned tomato juice.
5. Throw in the tomatoes, turn heat to high and heat through about 5 minutes, reducing some liquid.
6. Season with ground pepper and other seasoning to taste. Let cook on medium till meat is tender.
7. Serve over boiled penne.
