  • 1 tsp dried whole basil
  • 1 tsp dried whole oregano
  • 1 large garlic clove, very thinly sliced
  • 1 can chicken broth (10 1/2 ounces)
  • 1 pound chicken breasts, boneless
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 to 4 cups julienne cut leek, or use 1 bunch sliced green onions
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 5 cups cooked penne pasta
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 can whole tomatoes, undrained (28 ounces)
