Quick Chicken and Shrimp Pasta

Had some leftover chicken breasts and a package of shrimp so I decided to extend these by making them part of a pasta dish.

Ingredients:
1 package thin spaghetti
1 package shrimp, cut into small pieces
leftover chicken breasts, cubed (about 1 big piece or 3 pcs of chicken tenders)
1-1/2 tbs. olive oil
1 tbs. garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 can diced tomatoes
1 bottle Prego Onion, Garlic and Herb pasta sauce
1 small can of black olives, sliced

sausage, fried, sliced (optional)
1 cup water
salt
pepper
Italian seasoning
1 bayleaf
Parmesan Cheese
Breakfast or Italian sausage, cut into small pieces (optional)


Directions:
1. In a large skillet, heat on medium high the olive oil and add garlic.
2. When slightly browned, add onions. Saute for about a minute.
3. Add the can of diced tomatoes. Simmer for about 2 minutes then add the cubed chicken.
4. Season with salt and pepper, italian seasoning and bay leaf.
5. Lower heat and simmer to cook chicken (if chicken is already cooked, simmer for about 2 minutes).
6. Cook pasta as directed in the box. Once done, drain but leave some pasta water. Set aside.
7. Once chicken is cooked, add shrimp. Cook until slightly pink then add the pasta sauce and water.
8. Simmer until sauce is slightly bubbly.
9. Season to taste.
10. Add the sausage and olives.
11. After a minute, lower heat and add pasta with the pasta water.
12. Toss to coat pasta.
13. You may add some parmesan cheese or you can serve the cheese as topping to the pasta when served.

Enjoy!
