pasta with grilled chicken, white beans, & mushrooms

2 chicken breasts
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
8 ounces of sliced mushrooms
1 cup white beans, cooked (I use a can of white beans, it's more than a cup but we like white beans, so more is fine with us.)
2 Tablespoons chopped garlic
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
pepper to taste
12 ounce package of pasta (elbow, rotelle, shells, or any shape that might interest the children)

1. Grill or broil the chicken breasts and shred into small pieces.
2. In a large pan, sauté the onion and mushrooms in the olive oil. Add white beans, garlic, and fresh basil. Add the chicken and keep warm.
3. Cook the pasta in water until al dente. Drain and add the chicken mixture. Toss well.
4. Serve immediately topped with Parmesan cheese and pepper to taste.
