Chicken bites with pasta

Last night I decided to just wing it and make a recipe up off the top of my head.  I wasn't originally planning anything in particular to go with it, so when my friend suggested we have pasta (which was already ready), I happily accepted, and glad I did--it went perfectly!  We also topped it with some shredded cheese about halfway through eating it, which was even better.  I didn't take any pix, as I wasn't sure it was even going to turn into anything.  On the contrary, it was super good and I want to make it again!

Ingredients:

around 2 T. of butter, divided
1 large shallot, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced in thin half-rounds
300g (around 10oz) chicken breast, cut in bite-size pieces
salt and pepper, to taste
splash of dry white wine (probably 2-3 T.)
herbes de Provence (maybe 1/2 T.)
1 Knorr chicken pod + around 1/2 c. water (I would say 3/4 c. chicken broth or stock)
rotini pasta, cooked according to package directions (no idea of amount, would say around 3 servings' worth)
shredded cheese, to top

Directions:

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1 T. of the butter.  Add the shallot and cook until softened and beginning to brown very slightly.

2. Add remaining 1 T. of butter, then add the chicken, plus salt and pepper to taste.  Cook until chicken is starting to brown all over, stirring frequently.

3. Deglaze pan with the white wine, add the herbes de Provence and the chicken broth.  Cook for additional 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked thoroughly and sauce has started to thicken slightly.  Serve over pasta (or with desired side), top with cheese (if desired) and enjoy!
