25 ounces Frozen chicken fingers We used Tyson Parmesan Herb Encrusted Chicken Strips
8 ounces Angel hair pasta
3 tablespoons butter
16 ounces Store bought pasta sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional garnish: fresh basil chopped

Bake chicken strips according to package instructions.
Meanwhile prepare the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and stir in butter. Pour into a 13"x9" casserole dish. Cover to keep warm.
When the chicken strips are done, spoon a few tablespoons of pasta sauce on top of each chicken strip. Add cheese on top. Return to oven and bake for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Place chicken on top of prepared pasta. Sprinkle chopped basil on top. Place remaining pasta sauce in a microwave safe bowl and heat for one minute or until heated through. Serve pasta and chicken with sauce on the side.

Adding fresh chopped herbs right before serving gives the dish a beautiful presentation as well as adding more flavor. I used chopped fresh basil.
