Basil Chicken over Pasta

INGREDIENTS:
  1 (8 ounce) package gluten free noodles (angel hair, spaghetti, penne)
  2 teaspoons olive oil
  1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  1 clove garlic, chopped
  2 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
  2 cups boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and cubed)
  1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
                                                         1/2 teaspoon salt
                                                         1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
                                                         1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

DIRECTIONS:
   1.  Cook Pasta according to package directions to make it al dente.  Drain and set aside

   2. In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, saute the onions and garlic.   Stir in the tomatoes, chicken, basil, salt and lemon juice.  Reduce heat to medium and cover skillet.  Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is hot and tomatoes are soft.

   3.  Spoon over hot cooked pasta.  Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese!


(For those of you that like a spicy dish....substitute the lemon juice for 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce)
