Great chicken pasta dish

I find it hard to always come up with new ideas for dinner, and yesterday was no exception. I had a giant tub of blue cheese, some chicken breasts, and some pasta available, so I experimented with that and came up with the most delicious dish! It took 20 minutes to make and is super easy. Here it is:

Serves 3 - 4

2 chicken breasts
Bowtie pasta (or whatever shape you prefer)
cup of blue cheese crumbles
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 whit or yellow onion
1tsp dried rosemary
garlic salt
pepper

  1. Boil pasta according to directions on package
  2. In large saute pan, add 1tbsp olive oil, onion and chicken. Season with garlic salt, pepper, and rosemary.
  3. Brown the chicken and turn the heat down to low.
  4. When pasta is cooked, drain and pour into the pan with the chicken.
  5. Add the remaining 1tbsp of olive oil and toss it all around to get the pasta mixed in well.
  6. Add the blue cheese. Toss it all around again to mix the blue cheese in. The cheese will melt with the heat from the pasta
Things you could add to make it even better (not all, choose one):
Asparagus
Artichoke hearts
Fresh tomatoes
