- 2 tbsp. olive oil, divided
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
- 12 oz. skinless, boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed and minced

- 1 c. tomatoes, chopped
- ¼ c. fresh basil, shredded
- 1 tbsp. dried oregano

Directions
Cook pasta, drain, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the black pepper on chicken, then cook for 5 minutes or until center of chicken is no longer pink. Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
Add remainder of the oil to skillet with garlic, mushrooms, and onions. Stir-fry until onions are just tender.
Pour in broth and wine, then bring to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until liquid is reduced to about half, stirring occasionally (about 5 to 10 minutes.)
Remove skillet from heat. Add the pasta, chicken, tomatoes, basil, and oregano; toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
