Quick Chicken Pasta

This is the type of meal my husband would throw together, but its the first time I've ever done it. It was one of those days where we're waiting on payday to replenish the fridge and pantry, but I still need a meal that is going to fill up two growing kiddos. I used only one chicken breast, made a basic pasta sauce based off my spaghetti recipe, and mixed it up with an entire package of penne pasta! The best part? It fed my family of four, plus there were left overs for at least another 5 servings! Yeay!!
So, if you want to make it too...
1 chicken breast, thawed, cut into bite size bits, browned in pan with black pepper and salt, set aside.
Boil pasta, drain.
While chicken and pasta are cooking, pour 12 oz tomato sauce in pan, season with oregano, basil, minced garlic, onion powder and thyme.
When pasta is done, mix chicken into sauce, pour over pasta, toss to coat, sprinkle mozzarella cheese all over, dinner is served!
