This quick and simple recipe came from my pantry, freezer and fridge. In other words, what I had on hand. The first thing is to start the water boiling for the pasta and once you have that bubbling your no more than 20 mins from a delicious, family pleasing, meal. Ingredients:
10 ounces angel hair pasta |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
2 garlic cloves, crushed |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
8 stalks asparagus, cut in 1 inch lengths (thin stalks preferred, can use more if desired) |
1/2 cup chicken stock |
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/2 cup frozen peas |
1 (375 ml) can evaporated milk |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
salt and pepper (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to directions on package, drain and set aside covered.
2. Slice the chicken into thin strips while water is coming to a boil.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium high heat, add chicken, cook 2 minutes or until golden brown and just cooked through, remove from pan and set aside.
4. Reheat frying pan over medium heat, may need to deglaze with a bit of water, add onion and garlic with a bit more oil if needed and cook until softened. Add wine and simmer 2 minutes, add asparagus, chicken stock, poultry seasoning, peas and evaporated milk, bring to a boil then reduce heat. Add chicken and pasta, stir and simmer 2 minutes or until heated through without overcooking.
5. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
6. Mix in the Parmesan. If desired sprinkle extra grated Parmesan cheese on top.
