Instructions

Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil in a 6 to 8-quart pan over high heat.
Add penne and cook until pasta is tender to bite, 10-12 minutes.
Meanwhile, season chicken to taste with salt and pepper.
Combine chicken and oil in a 12-inch nonstick frying pan.
Stir often over high heat until chicken is lightly browned and no longer pink in center (cut to test), 5-6 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.
Add tomatoes and avocados to frying pan.
Stir often over high heat until tomatoes just start to fall apart, 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat.
When pasta is done, drain well then transfer to a serving bowl.
Add chicken, tomato mixture, and basil. Toss well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
