I decided to make a pasta recipe that doesn't have tomatoes in it. Almost everything that i make has tomatoes in it. I decided to change things up because my husband Jake's always asks if there is tomatoes in this. I trick him this time! I really have been liking red peppers lately and been using it in some of the food that i make. I tried to figure out a recipe that would include my two favorite things pasta and chicken. One of the things that i have learned from my mom when cooking is, when cooking chicken or beef to add either a chopped onion or garlic to the meat so you don't have to add as much salt and it flavors the meat allot more. Here how my recipe turned out Hope you all enjoy it!
Ingredients
1 package or Box of whole wheat Penne
2 whole Chicken Breast
1 red Pepper
3 garlic cloves
2 green onions
2 tablespoons butter
1 can chicken Broth
1 can Creme of Chicken Soup
1/2 Lemon
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon pepper
Start of with the two thawed chicken breast and cut the chicken length wise. While doing that put a frying pan on the stove with the 2 table spoons butter and three cloves garlic finely chopped. Brown the chicken for about 15 minutes on medium high till the chicken is brown on both sides. Chopped your red pepper and green onions and then toss then in the frying pan. Let the vegetables saute with the meat for about 5 minutes. After that add your chicken broth and the Creme of Chicken soup to the frying pan. Let that simmer and add the salt, pepper, and the dried basil. Last of all add the lemon to the sauce to give it Little zest. Let the sauce cook for like 5 minutes to let is thicken. If you think needs Little bit more salt feel free to add more. I have learned to cook by taste and this turned out pretty great.
For the noodles fill the pot more than half full. Let the water come to a boil. Once the water is boiling add the wheat Penne and a pinch of salt. Let that boil for about 15-20 stirring occasionally. You can taste a noodle and can tell if that is done or not.
For extra taste- Add some Parmesan cheese or Mozzarella cheese
Yummy !!!!!!!!!!
