Recipe of the Day: Italian Chicken and Pasta

1-1/2 lbs. boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/8 C Italian seasoning (or you could use a mix of fresh basil and oregano, if you got it)
1 can Cannelli beans, drained and rinsed
3 pieces of bacon, cooked and chopped into small pieces
1 quart of homemade spaghetti sauce
1 C shredded Italian cheese blend (I used Sargento's 6 cheese Italian blend)
Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 lb. cooked pasta (I used fusilli, but you could use anything)

Brown the chicken in the olive oil, and cook until done. Add onion and garlic, cook for a few minutes. Stir in tomatoes, seasoning, beans, and bacon. Cook until everything's warmed through and hot. Stir in sauce, cheeses and salt & pepper. Cook until hot, then toss in cooked pasta. Serve with garlic bread and olives on the side. (You could add the olives to the chicken and pasta as well, but one of my kids prefers the olives plain.)
