Chicken Penne

I have posted this recipe before.... Here's the link.  However, I wanted to figure a different way to cook it instead of in the microwave.  Something just doesn't sound  right about that.  But feel free to use the microwave version at the link above if you wish.

3 garlic cloves
1 small container cherry or grape tomatoes
3 cups cooked penne pasta
1/2 tsp salt and pepper
2 cups cooked diced chicken breasts
basil, oregano and garlic pepper to taste

Cook the noodles and drain setting aside in a large bowl.  Saute the cherry tomatoes with garlic until tomatoes are tender.  Then mash the tomatoes.  Cook and dice the chicken with seasonings.
Toss it all together and serve warm.

This recipe was adapted from a Pampered Chef recipe.
