Basil Chicken over Angel Hair

I don't really follow measurements for this recipe, I just throw it together. The ingredients below are estimates, and you can make it your own by varying the amounts of the ingredients or trying out different spices. You can make it vegetarian by leaving out the chicken - just as delicious! Dad likes a lot of onions and I like a lot of garlic, so ours is usually heavy on those two ingredients. The secret to this dish is tossing it with a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end - heavenly!


Ingredients
1 8 Oz Package Angel Hair Pasta
Olive Oil
1 Small Onion, chopped
3 Cloves Garlic
2 Large Tomatoes, chopped
2-3 Chicken Breasts, cubed and cooked
1 Handful Fresh Basil, chopped
1 Pinch Salt
1 Pinch Crushed Red Peppers
1 Splash Balsamic Vinegar
Shredded Parmesan

Directions

1. Heat a large skillet on medium-high, add oil. Saute the onions and garlic. Stir in tomatoes, chicken, basil, salt, and crushed red peppers. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for five minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot.

2. While mixture is simmering, prepare angel hair.
3. Add mixture to pasta. Toss with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
