Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package directions, then drain and set aside. While the pasta cooks, start the sauce.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

Add the chicken, dried basil, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned on the outside.
