Ingredients

1/2 large onion, chopped

1/2-2 cups chopped chicken- ( I get a ready cooked deli chicken, tear off the meat, use about half for this dish and the rest for something else )

1-2 cloves garlic chopped fine

1 tin Aylmer Accents Diced Tomatoes with spicy red peppers ( or sub other diced tomatoes ie rotel) with the juice.

1/3 - 1/2 cup half 'n half cream

1/2 c chopped parsley ( Italian is best, cilantro is good too, curly if desperate)

1 1/2 cups grated mozerella cheese

4 cups penne pasta

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

butter

Directions

Cook pasta according to directions on package, about 7-8 minutes

Meanwhile, saute onion in a Tbsp of olive oil til soft . Add chicken , and cook for a few minutes more before adding the garlic. Cook another 2 min and add the tin of tomatoes.
