Garlic Chicken Pasta (Or Three Cheese Garlic Chicken Pasta) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 cups cooked chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
1 garlic cloves or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 cups pasta (shells, spiral, fettuccine, whatever you like!)
3 cups milk
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
For Three Cheese Garlic Chicken add
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
3 ounces cream cheese
Preparation
-
In a skillet, saute cooked chicken and garlic in olive oil. Turn to low heat to keep warm while you're cooking the pasta.
Place the pasta in a large pot with the milk, butter and salt. Bring to a boil over med-hi heat, stirring almost constantly to prevent the milk from scorching.
When it comes to a boil, turn down to medium heat and stir constantly until pasta is tender and the starch from the pasta has thickened the milk into a creamy sauce. There shouldn't be any liquid left over, it should be like white sauce.
Remove from heat and stir in chicken/garlic.
Serve immediately...sprinkling Parmesan cheese on each serving.
To make Three Cheese Garlic Chicken:
Follow recipe as above, except before adding chicken to cooked pasta, remove from heat and add 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella and 3 oz. cream cheese.
Stir until cheese has melted then add chicken and serve with Parmesan cheese.
