Tomato Basil Chicken

I used the pin below as inspiration for our dinner tonight. I made it healthier by using far less olive oil and no butter and it still turned out yummy :)
Here's what I used:

6-7 boneless, skinless chicken tenders
salt and pepper to taste
Basil
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 roma tomatoes
8 oz. whole grain penne pasta
Grated parmesan cheese
Frozen bag of asparagus

I did everything in the pictures shown on the link below basically. I added a bag of frozen asparagus. But I steamed it first in the microwave, chopped it then added it.

Here's my way of keeping basil fresh for a long time--

Puree fresh, washed basil in the blender with a good amount of olive oil added in. Pour into a regular ice cube tray and freeze. Use the frozen basil/olive oil in dishes such as this by added cubes to a hot pan. So easy!! :)
