Cheesy Chicken Parmesan Over Pasta

I made this tonight. It was incredibly easy to make and very tasty. We didn't even have any leftovers!

Cheesy Chicken Parmesan Over Pasta

Breaded chicken breasts topped with savory tomatoes and melted cheese and served over hot pasta

Hands on: 15 minutes
Total: 35 minutes
Makes: 4 servings (1 chicken breast and 1 cup pasta each)

Ingredients:
4 frozen Banquet or Tyson breaded chicken breast patties
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) Hunts Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano, drained (I ran out of this so I used regular canned dice tomatoes and spiced them myself)
4 slices (2/3 oz. each) mozzarella cheese
8 ounces dry pasta, uncooked (I used rotini)
shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions:
1. Bake chicken in preheated oven according to package directions.
2. Top each breast with 1/3 cup of the tomatoes; cover with 1 cheese slice. Continue baking 20 minutes, or until chicken is heated through and cheese is melted. Meanwhile, cook pasta in large saucepan according to package directions.
3. Drain pasta; return to saucepan. Add the remaining tomatoes; toss to coat. Place on large platter; top with chicken. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, if desired.
