Basil Chicken and Pasta

This recipe was originated by my first after school employee, Jonathan Wright. Whenever I was going to be gone, Jonathan always prepared this dish, along with our "house salad and garlic bread".  It later became a favorite of Jordan Jones, who came to work as an after school employee, after Jonathan moved away to college.
