½  C Asiago Cheese (grated)               

½  C Parmesan Cheese (grated)

¼  Tsp Oregano

1.5 oz (1 jigger) Premium KY Bourbon   

½  14 1/2 oz. Can Plain Petite Diced Tomatoes, DRAINED

SAUCE:

Place 1 Tbsp olive oil in medium sauce pan, adding 1/2 can DRAINED plain petite diced tomatoes, cooking at medium heat for 5 min. Add remaining sauce ingredients (except bourbon), stirring often, until all cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Add bourbon just prior to serving.

CHICKEN:

Sauté FROZEN chicken in skillet or electric skillet, using the olive oil and marinade, cooking at medium heat, covered for 15-20 min, turning to thoroughly cook both sides (covering greatly reduces the cooking time for the frozen chicken).

Cook Penne Pasta according to directions on the package, tossing with a splash of olive oil. 

To serve, place pasta on plates, topping with four sautéed chicken strips.  Ladle pasta sauce over the top and serve.  For a great additional treat, sprinkle with small pecan pieces and top off with fresh ground pepper. Serves four. Enjoy!
