Penne Pasta with Chicken and Asparagus

Hi guys! I know what you're thinking, where have you been?! Yes? No? Okay well I'm going to tell you anyway. I've basically been struggling with recipes to come up with. It is very hard for some reason to create recipes that are healthy, and good. So I've been perfecting my craft and I have to say, I think I've nailed it with this one. Also, buying food every week to cook so I can post on this blog is kind of expensive. I'm a full time college student with no job so I have to scrap and save whenever I can. That is why this recipe is so easy and CHEAP! I am the QUEEN of bargain shopping and I wanted to make this recipe for people out there like me, who are struggling to get by with barely any money.Have I caught your attention yet? Yes?!! Lets start cooking!

1.)You're going to start with bringing a pot of boiling water to a boil. Follow the directions on the box of your pasta.

2.) While you are waiting for your water to boil, pop your asparagus in the microwave and follow the directions on the back of the packet. (I love these steamable asparagus, they're so convenient and very easy)

3.) Put your frozen chicken breast in the oven, also following the directions on the back of bag if you're using the already cooked chicken. If not, you can use thawed chicken breast, and season that with salt and pepper, put a tablespoon of oil in your skillet, and brown on both sides until they are fully cooked. Cut chicken into pieces so they can be easily added to the pot.

4.)Once your pot of water is boiling, add pasta. Cook until tender and drain. Add chicken and asparagus to your pot and teaspoon of olive oil. Stir until all are well combined.

5.) Add parmesan cheese, and pop your pot or skillet into your broiler until cheese is melted. I skipped this step because I was starving, but it was still delicious.
