Chicken and Broccoli Linguine

After an unsuccessful hunt for small game today we were forced to endure yet another night of chicken, which even though it has been frequents has not exhausted our creativity.  Tonight we had chicken and broccoli linguine which turned out to be pretty good, although had it been made as described online it would have been quite bland.

Ingredients
3 tbsp olive oil
3/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast (about 3), cut in 1 inch cubes
2 tbsp finely chopped onion
4 large cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 28oz can of stewed tomatoes
2 c fresh broccoli florets
1 pinch dried oregano
1 lb dry linguine pasta
1 1/2 tbsp dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
grated Parmesan cheese to top

Instructions
In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat, add chicken.  Cook until done throughout.  Add onion and garlic, cook tell onions are translucent.   Add tomatoes, broccoli, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp basil and oregano, stir well and bring to a boil.  Cover and reduce heat to a simmer for 10 minutes.  Meanwhile cook pasta in a separate pan.  Once pasta is cooked and drained, combine with the rest of the ingredients, add final 1/2 tbsp basil, mix well and serve topped with Parmesan cheese.

This made for an incredibly easy 30 minute meal that would be great any night with family of when entertaining.
