Ingredients
-
15 oz. Chicken breast (I use tenders)

4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup grated parm. cheese (I use 1/4 parm and 1/4 asiago for variety)
Pasta of your choice ( I use Ronzoni Smart Taste Ziti/Penne. Tastes like "regular" pasta but much higher in fiber, etc..)
Directions
Makes 5 VERY generous servings - 1 cup pasta per person! ( I'm not sure of exact amounts of chicken & sauce because I normally just portion it out per person/plate in our 5 person family...)
