    Ingredients

  • 2 2/3 cups uncooked penne pasta (8 oz)
  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, flattened slightly
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup white wine

  1. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. In resealable food-storage plastic bag, place dressing and chicken. Seal bag; refrigerate 15 minutes.

Add chicken to skillet. Cook chicken 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Stir in wine; cook until most of the wine has evaporated. Stir in cooking sauce, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture starts to thicken.
