..and fresh tomato and/or canned tomatoes and brocoli, those are the main ingredients i have. Thanks.Any simple recipes for chicken and penne pasta?
Hmm, well I don't usually use chicken in pasta (largely because I love potatoes!), but you could do a pasta bake? Basically cut the chicken into small pieces and fry it with some garlic (and chilli perhaps). Then put it into an oven proof dish with some pasta, your broccoli, tomatoes (remember to add a teaspoon of sugar), and some basil (and mixed herbs). Top it with grated cheese and bake it...Any simple recipes for chicken and penne pasta?
You can use any shape pasta in most any dish.
Olive Garden Garlic Herb Chicken Con Broccoli
1 lb. chicken breasts
2 tsp. olive oil
4 oz. dry orecchiette pasta
1 C. heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 C. broccoli florets
Salt to taste
Ground black pepper to taste
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
Spice Mixture:
1-2 tsp. Dried basil, parsley, and rosemary
1/2 tsp. Red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
Combine ingredients from spice mixture. Rub onto the chicken breasts. Cook chicken in the olive oil till done and browned, set aside.
Cook orecchiette in a large pot of boiling salted water until ';almost'; done. Drain, and return pasta to pot.
Stir butter or margarine, and garlic into a saut茅 pan. Cook till garlic caramelizes, then add the cream and the cornstarch on medium heat till it thickens to a sauce, and add to the pasta.
Stir chicken, and broccoli into the pasta. Simmer until pasta are done, and remove from heat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
----------------------
I would personally boil the pasta, toss it with butter and parmesan, cook the chicken in olive oil, italian seasoning and garlic salt. Once cooked through either dice tomatoes or halve cherry tomatoes and toss in skillet with balsamic vinegar and let it reduce, about 10 minnutes, return chicken to warm. Serve over pasta. As far as the broccoli, try a quick boil in water and toss in a skillet with a little minced garlic and olive oil! Hope this helps! I love it!
