SECOND STEP: Add onion and garlic paste. Stir to combine. Let cook fro 5-7 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent.

Ingredient Substitutions and Additions
MEAT: While this recipe calls for chicken breast that is uncooked, you could easily skip the step that cooks the chicken and substitute a rotisserie chicken instead.
CHICKEN STOCK: If you don't have chicken stock on hand you could use plain water, or chicken bouillon cubes + water instead.
PARSLEY: Dried parsley works on the top of this pasta as a garnish if you don't have fresh in your refrigerator.
