Place chicken on a clean work surface or cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and lightly pound with a meat mallet until even in size and thickness.
Season with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place chicken into the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or dicing.
Using the same pan, sauté onions for 3 minutes or until fragrant and slightly translucent.
Stir in the garlic, Tantillo Imported Tomato Basil Sauce, and hot sauce.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Stir in the mezzi paccheri pasta and boil for 8-10 minutes, then drain and rinse.
Add cooked pasta and chicken to the skillet and stir, coating the noodles in the sauce. Serve topped with fresh basil and parmesan.
