This recipe is AMAZING! I found the original recipe HERE on Eat At Home Cooks. All my dinners this week will come from there, by the way...but must give credit where credit is due!
I've been playing around with the photgraphy a bit. Hope these do the food justice.
The last thing I want to do as soon as I walk in the door is stand in the kitchen forever while children are "Mommy, Mommy"-ing me at the top of their lungs and the dogs are trying to get their "hi" in too. This one took less than an hour of my time and while the chicken and pasta were cooking, I even got to leave the kitchen for a few minutes. Bonus.
The original recipe calls for lemon pepper grilled chicken. I am not a fan of lemon pepper anything, so instead I bought some frozen fajita seasoned strips. I'm also not a fan of cauliflower, so I left that out as well. ANY seasoning would work well with this dish. Its just yummy!
So, here's the recipe as I made it.
box of bowtie pasta
bag of fresh broccoli and carrots (from the produce section by the bagged salads)
feta cheese 6oz, crumbled
3-4 Tbs butter
1 1/2 – 2 cups half and half, warmed for a minute or two in the microwave
Warm the chicken in a non stick skillet.
While the chicken is heating start the pasta cooking. I actually started the water before the chicken so it would be boiling at this point.
Steam the vegetables in the microwave for 3-4 minutes.
Warm the half & half for about 1 minute or so in the microwave.
Drain the pasta and put it back in the pot. Add the butter and warmed half & half. Stir in the feta cheese, veggies and chicken.
And there you have it! Its really really good! I served it with a bagged salad, croutons, and salad topping.
Here's a bonus picture of Itty Bitty shoveling yesterday's leftover pudding cake in her mouth as fast as she can.
