Solo Chicken Breast Poached In Beer

• 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1/2 cup finely sliced onion
• 1/2 cup diced Spanish salad olives
• 1 cup dry pasta (I like rotini)
• 1 (12 ounce) can warm beer
• salt and pepper

1. Place a thawed chicken breast in a preheated 8 inch cast iron frying pan or one with a non stick surface and sear each side for 2 minutes.
2. Add warm beer and poach the chicken uncovered for 15 minutes.
3. Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil, and after the chicken has been poaching for 8 minutes, add the dried pasta to the boiling water.
4. After the chicken has cooked for another 8 minutes, remove the chicken and add the onion to the poaching liquid.
5. Dice the chicken, return it to the frying pan, drain the pasta, add it to the frying pan, and add the diced olives.
6. Cook mixture for another 2 minutes, and serve.
