Directions:
Start by putting a large pot of water on to boil for the pasta. Cube chicken into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with Cayenne to your desired heat level. Melt butter in a skillet and add chicken to the hot skillet. Sauté until browned. While the chicken is cooking, in a large bowl combine olive oil, grated or pressed fresh garlic, tomatoes cut into bite-sized pieces, roughly chopped or torn basil leaves and mozzarella also cut into bite-sized pieces. Amounts based on personal taste, I do not use measurements.

Add pasta to rapidly boiling water and cook according to package directions.

Add browned chicken and pan scrapings to the bowl with the tomato mixture and stir. Add drained pasta while still hot. Allow to set for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Enjoy!

Personal Notes:
I have never used measurements, just add the amount of each ingredient that to suit your family’s appetite. I use 2 chicken breasts, abt 2T cayenne, 2 vine-ripened tomatoes or one pkg of grape tomatoes halved, 3 cloves of garlic, a handful of fresh basil, appx 2T butter, 4T EVOO, and 1/2 lb penne for 2 of us, but this could feed up to 4.
