âThis is a great weeknight chicken dish. While it simmers I can throw together a salad or steam some broccoli, and I have a tasty dinner ready in a flash,â writes Trisha Kruse of Eagle, Idaho. Using the pasta mix really makes this saucy meal easy to fix. Ingredients:
1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided |
2 tablespoons butter, divided |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/2 cup chopped green pepper |
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper |
1-1/3 cups water |
1/2 cup milk |
1 package (4.9 ounces) creamy garlic shells |
shredded parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook chicken over medium heat in 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter for 4-5 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
2. In the same skillet, saute onion and peppers in remaining oil and butter until crisp-tender. Stir in the water, milk and shells. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken; cook 2-3 minutes longer or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese. Yield: 3 servings.
