As some of you may know I'm a pretty big fan of vegetables in my diet but not so much pasta. However, I liked this dish because it has a shiz load of vegetables so here it is, pasta with a shiz load of vegetables.The recipe is actually called Cajun Chicken Pasta but I was too lazy to thaw and cook the chicken so I just did without.
Cajun Chicken Pasta
8 ounces uncooked linguine (I used whole wheat spaghetti)
1 pound chicken breast strips
1-2 tsp Cajun seasoning (or to taste)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced (or whatever color of bell peppers you want)
1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup milk
1 tbsp flour
1 pound chicken breast strips
1-2 tsp Cajun seasoning (or to taste)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced (or whatever color of bell peppers you want)
1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup milk
1 tbsp flour
4 oz cream cheese
pepper
2 scallions, chopped
salt to taste
2 scallions, chopped
salt to taste
Cut all your vegetables. Make a slurry (whatever the muff that is) by combining flour, milk, and softened cream cheese. I wisked this briefly. Set aside. Season chicken with cajun, salt, and garlic salt then set aside. Cook your pasta of choice according to the directions. Heat a skillet to medium high with olive oil and cook half the chicken for 5-6 minutes. Repeat with the other half. Set chicken aside and then add a little more olive oil and saute the onion, garlic and peppers for 3-4 minutes. Add mushrooms and tomatoes and saute for an additional 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and add your chicken broth and your slurry, stirring for about two minutes. Combine chicken, pasta, and vegetables and heat through for about two minutes. Top with chopped scallions.
How did I not see this till now?! Sounds yummy. I think we better resurrect the blog.
