Basil Chicken over Angel Hair Pasta
I am having a "clean out the pantry/freezer/fridge" week and did a search for some of the ingredients I had on hand. This recipe came up and it was perfect for what I needed. If you find that you want it to have a little more sauce, during the simmering step, add a little bit of Italian Salad Dressing. Delicious!
