INGREDIENTS


6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into cubes


6 tablespoons butter, divided


4 cloves garlic, minced, divided


1 tablespoon Italian seasoning


1 pound fettuccini pasta


1 onion, diced


1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms


1/3 cup all-purpose flour


1 tablespoon salt


3/4 teaspoon ground white pepper


3 cups milk


1 cup half-and-half


3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


8 ounces shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese


3 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced


1/2 cup sour cream


DIRECTIONS


In a large skillet over medium heat combine chicken, 2 tablespoons butter, garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook until chicken is no longer pink inside. Remove from skillet and set aside.


Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.


Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Saute onion, 2 tablespoons garlic and mushrooms until onions are transparent. Stir in flour, salt and pepper; cook 2 minutes. Slowly add milk and half-and-half, stirring until smooth and creamy. Stir in Parmesan and Colby-Monterey Jack cheeses; stir until cheese is melted. Stir in chicken mixture, tomatoes and sour cream. Serve over cooked fettuccini.
Chicken Pasta


1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil


2 cups shredded store-bought rotisserie chicken


1 cup frozen baby peas


1/2 cup chicken broth


2 cloves garlic, finely chopped


Pinch cayenne pepper


12 ounces wagon wheels or other short pasta


1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling


1 tablespoon butter


Salt


1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and heat through. Stir in the peas, broth, garlic and cayenne and simmer until the broth has reduced slightly, about 2 minutes. Keep warm over low heat.


2. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta for 5 minutes. Drain and add to the chicken. Stir in the 1/2 cup cheese and butter and simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente, about 3 minutes. Season with salt, if necessary, and serve with additional Parmesan.

Chicken Pasta





8 ounces angel hair pasta


1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce


1 tablespoon vinegar, preferably rice wine


2 teaspoons sesame oil


3 cloves garlic, minced


1 lb boneless chicken breasts, cut in strips


1/4 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon black pepper


1 tablespoon sesame seeds


1 tablespoon oil, preferably peanut


1 (15 ounce) can baby corn, drained and cut into bite-size pieces


4 cups mixed vegetables, parboiled (broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, celery, onion, mushrooms, water chestnuts, etc.)


soy sauce, for serving (optional)





Cook and drain pasta according to package and set aside.


Combine soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and 1 clove minced garlic.


Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.


In dry skillet, over medium heat, cook sesame seeds until golden, about 2 minutes.


Remove from heat and set aside.


In same skillet, heat peanut oil over medium heat.


Add remaining garlic, cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minutes (May have to add a bit of water to prevent burning).


Add chicken, cook, stirring, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.


In large bowl, combine corn, veggies, and pasta with chicken and soy mixture.


Toss well.


Sprinkle with reserved sesame seeds.
this has a little asian twist to it


boil some farfalle (bowties) or some fusilli (corkscrews).


add your chicken, add some cucumber slices, season with a little salt and pepper, and add a little chili flakes.


coat with this dressing. will be a little sesame oil, asian fish sauce, black pepper.





or toss the pasta, the chicken, a few fresh apple chunks (any crunchy type, fuji will be great), celery chunks, and walnuts in 1 part WHIPPED cream %26amp; 1 part mayonnaise (note that the dressing will not taste nice if you don't whip the cream first as it would make it more creamy)





or this (something hot)


on a baking dish, layer your pasta, then your chicken, then top with a few cooked veggies like brocolli, carrots, peas, etc. then pour over a can of mushroom soup. top with breadcrumbs and cheese.


bake then eat! 眉
This is my extra special recipe. Use the chicken and add cooked pasta any type is fine, but I like bow tie for this recipe. Then add tons of stuff, like tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, roasted red peppers, pine nuts, lemon juice, smoked Gouda or mozzarella cheese, splash of white wine, herbs. You can add olives too. I serve it chilled and trust me this salad does not last more than a day. It gets eaten up quickly.
