Creamy Pasta Bake with Chicken
So Momma and I altered a recipe that we found in a cookbook this weekend while at the lake...we like to experiment and play with recipes we find while we're up there.
We took a recipe for a cream/white wine chicken over pasta-like recipe and took out the white wine to make it our own (since we didn't have any white wine on hand...)...
We cooked some spaghetti (I would recommend a penne pasta instead, might be yummier)...20 minutes in boiling water with olive oil and salt in the water...after draining it, tossed in a little Italian Seasoning, for flavor and pretty, really.
We cooked some chicken tenders (breasts or chunks are fine too), coated in salt and pepper and basil, rosemary, oregano and garlic salt, in a bunch of butter. Until they were cooked through. Set it aside.
Saute onion, garlic, and tomatoe (all chopped small) until tender. Add either chicken broth or condensed cream of chicken soup into skillet and bring to boil, add half n half or whipping cream and the chicken back into the skillet and bring to boil again (Med boil, stirring constantly). The ratio between cream and broth is up to you, I tasted it all the way through. When it reaches the desired thickness and consistancy, pour on top of noodles and toss.
Enjoy!
It was easy and quick and really good!!
