chicken pasta recipe

A super fast creamy pesto sauce drenches tender pasta, chicken breast, and broccoli for an easy weeknight dinner.

Creamy Pesto Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli

bow tie pasta (0.67)

broccoli

olive oil (0.12)

chicken breast (2.49)

basil pesto (0.73)

chicken broth (0.07)

cream cheese (0.40)

Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta. Once it reaches a full boil, add the pasta and continue to boil just until the pasta is tender, but still slightly firm in the center (7-8 minutes). Once the pasta is tender, add the frozen broccoli florets to the water with the pasta and continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. Drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander.

While the pasta is cooking, cut the chicken breast into ½-inch pieces. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and continue to cook until the outside of the chicken pieces are white, but they&#039;re still tender in the center (they will continue to cook as more ingredients are added).

Add the chicken broth to the skillet with the chicken and allow it to heat through. Once hot, add the cream cheese (cut into small pieces) and pesto. Continue to stir and cook until the cream cheese has melted and created a smooth, creamy sauce with the pesto and chicken broth.

Finally, add the cooked and drained pasta and broccoli to the skillet and stir to coat it in the cream sauce. If the sauce becomes too dry or thick, add another splash of chicken broth to loosen it up. Serve hot.

This Chicken Alfredo features pasta drenched in an ultra-rich and creamy sauce, topped with juicy strips of seared chicken.

Chicken Alfredo

boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.3 lb. total) (6.49)

tsp Italian seasoning (0.20)

Tbsp cooking oil (0.04)

butter

garlic, minced (0.32)

heavy cream (1.25)

Parmesan (1.08)

salt (0.02)

tsp pepper (0.02)

Tbsp chopped parsley (optional garnish) (0.10)

fettuccine (0.88)

Season both sides of the chicken breast with Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt.

Heat a large skillet over medium. Once hot, add the cooking oil and swirl to coat the surface. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until browned on the outside and cooked through.

Remove the chicken to a clean plate and turn the heat under the skillet down to medium-low.

Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook the garlic in the melted butter for about two minutes, dissolving the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir.

Add the heavy cream and whisk to combine, dissolving any remaining browned bits. Allow the cream to come up to a simmer.

While waiting for the cream to simmer, bring a pot of water to a boil for the fettuccine. Once boiling, add the pasta and continue to boil until tender (about 7 minutes). Reserve about ½ cup of the starchy cooking water just before draining the pasta.

Once the cream is simmering, add the grated Parmesan to the skillet. Continue to whisk and stir until the Parmesan has melted into the sauce and the sauce has begun to simmer. Simmer the sauce for a few minutes, or until it becomes slightly thicker. Add salt and pepper to the sauce to taste.

Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the creamy sauce and toss to combine. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of the reserved pasta water and toss to combine with the sauce.

Buffalo Chicken Pasta

onion powder (0.05)

cayenne pepper (0.05)

penne pasta (0.67)

15 tomatoes (1.00)

chicken broth (0.28)

cream cheese (1.10)

hot sauce (0.52)

Worcestershire sauce (0.02)

Monterey jack cheese (0.58)

green onions, sliced (optional) (0.16)

Cut the chicken into ½-¾ inch pieces. Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt, then sprinkle it over the chicken pieces. Toss the chicken in the spices until everything is well coated.

Heat the cooking oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Once hot, add the chicken and allow tge chicken to brown on all sides. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this point.

Add the uncooked pasta, canned diced tomatoes (with the liquid), and the chicken broth to the skillet with the chicken. Stir to dissolve all of the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet.

Place a lid on the pot and allow the broth to come up to a strong simmer. The broth will not fully cover the pasta, but that is okay. Once the broth is simmering, briefly stir the pasta, replace the lid, then turn the heat down to medium-low.

Allow the pasta to simmer in the broth for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, stirring once or twice throughout, and always replacing the lid after stirring.

Once the pasta is tender and only a small amount of thickened liquid remains in the skillet, cut the cream cheese into chunks and add it to the past along with the butter, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and cook over medium-low heat until the cream cheese has fully melted into the pasta.

Add the shredded Monterey jack cheese and stir until melted into the sauce. Top with sliced green onions, then serve hot.
