Two 4-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup white beans, cooked
2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
12 ounces uncooked rotelle pasta
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Ground black pepper, to taste
Spray the grill rack with a light coating of cooking spray and position the rack approximately 5 inches from the heat source. Preheat the grill to high heat.
Grill the chicken for approximately 5 minutes per side. Once cooked, allow the chicken to cool for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Add olive oil to a large, nonstick skillet and place over medium heat. Sauté the onions and mushrooms in the skillet for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the beans, garlic, basil, and chicken to the skillet, and reduce heat to low.
Cook the pasta in a large cooking pot according to the package directions. Once tender, drain the pasta and return to the cooking pot.
Add the ingredients in the skillet to the pasta, and toss to combine.
Place equal portions of the pasta onto four dinner plates. Top each portion with 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese and black pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
