Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups uncooked penne pasta 1 cup chopped asparagus 6 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with herbs, including juice 1 ounce soft goat cheese, crumbled 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese Preparation:
Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (tender), 10 to 12 minutes, or according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and set aside. In a pot fitted with a steamer basket, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Add the asparagus. Cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Spray a large nonstick frying pan with cooking spray. Add the chicken and garlic and saute over medium-high heat. Cook until the chicken is golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, including the juice, and simmer 1 minute more. In a large bowl, add the cooked pasta, steamed asparagus, chicken mixture and goat cheese. Toss gently to mix evenly. Place on plates and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Serves: 2-4
