Ingredients
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1- inch chunks (1lb about 500gms), small pasta such as shells, bow ties, fusilli or elbows (2c about 500ml), dried basil (1tsp about 5ml), water (1c about 250ml), diced tomatoes (1can), sliced mushrooms (1.5c), chopped onion (1), vegetable oil or olive oil (1tbsp about 15ml), black pepper (too taste) and salt (1/2tsp).

Method of preparation:-
Take a large pot; place it over medium high heat. Heat vegetable oil in it and add chicken chunks in it and cook them for about 5 to 7 minutes until it starts to brown in color. Take out the chicken chunks from the pot to a bowl with a slotted spoon and leave the oil in the pot. Then add mushrooms and onion to the pot and cook them for about 5 to 7 minutes until they get soft. Add basil, tomatoes and water in the pot and keep it to boil and then mix the uncooked pasta in it. Turn down the heat to medium low, cover the pot and cook for about 10 minutes until the pasta gets soft. Mix the mixture once during cooking time. Drain the excess water from the pot. Put the cooked brown chicken again to the pot and cook it for about 3 minutes until the mixture gets heated. Sprinkle salt and pepper in it and then serve it at once.
