Christmas Frenzy!

Yes, I am still alive.  Barely.  Since Thanksgiving, I have been doing ENTIRELY too much baking/cooking.  I have not had much time to post anything.  Sorry!  I did throw together a great, easy dinner a couple of nights ago, so I thought I would post that real quick.

Creamy Tomato Chicken & Penne

6 sliced up chicken breasts
1 jar of premade spaghetti sauce
1/2 diced onion
2 t minced garlic
1/2 C heavy cream
1/2 C shredded Parmesan cheese
penne noodles
2-3 T of butter
1 T Italian seasoning
salt & pepper to taste

*boil noodles with a good amount of kosher salt in the water (and at least a T of olive oil) (ALWAYS!)  Saute onion in butter over medium/high heat until they start to turn clear.  Add in garlic.  Saute for 2-3 minutes.  Add in chicken and seasoning.  Once chicken is cooked, add in sauce...heat through.  Add in cream, mix together.  Last add in cheese.  Toss with drained pasta. Enjoy!
