Skillet Chicken & Pasta

ingredients
1 tablespoon margarine or oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 3/4 cups water
16 ounce jar spaghetti sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
3 cups rotini pasta, uncooked
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

directions

     In a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, add margarine or oil until hot; add chicken.
     Cook, stirring occasionally until no longer pink, 3-5 minutes.  Add water, spaghetti
     sauce and seasonings; heat to boiling.  Add the uncooked pasta, stirring to coat with
     liquid mixture.  Cover and reduce heat.  Simmer 15 minutes, stirring every couple of
     minutes until pasta is cooked and some, but not all, of the liquid is absorbed.  Remove
     from heat; stir in the parmesan cheese before serving.

     Note:  If too much of the liquid is being absorbed while pasta is cooking, add a little
     as needed.
