CHICKEN ANGEL HAIR PASTA BAKE RECIPE RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Chicken Angel Hair Pasta Bake Recipe Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-129552

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 Pound Shredded Chicken (we prefer boneless skinless chicken breast but you can use thigh or leg quarters just make sure to remove fat and skin)
2 Cups Low Fat Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1/2 Package Angel Hair Pasta (approximately 8ounces uncooked) cooked until just soft - will finish cooking in oven
1/3 Cup Non Fat Sour Cream
1/4 Cup Skim Milk
1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
3 Dashes Hot Sauce (Tabasco or similar)
1 Teaspoon Dried Italian Seasoning Blend (1/3 Tsp. Oregano, 1/3 Tsp. Thyme, 1/3 Tsp. Basil)
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
Black Pepper as desired

Steps:

  • 1. I like to boil up a big batch of chicken at the begging of the week. Shredded it up and store it and then it's ready to go for recipes that night and for a couple of nights to follow. Boiling chicken is super easy. You just toss it into a pot of water and let the pot reach boiling and continue cooking until your chicken is cooked through. This recipe is also a perfect way to use up leftover shredded chicken. 2. Get your oven ready, turning it on to 350°F. Prep your casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. 3. Now, it's as easy as combining all of your ingredients, including your cooked and shredded chicken and your cooked and drained pasta into a large bowl. Mix together all the ingredients so everything is well coated. Pour all into your casserole dish and bake for 35 minutes or until bubbling and browned around the edges!

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

4 chicken breasts
3 ounces ribs and chicken dry rub seasonings
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups spaghetti sauce

Each time you turn the breasts, baste them with some of the melted butter. Do not overcook as we will be cooking them a little more in the kitchen. When done, set the breasts aside for later.
  • Put the spaghetti sauce in a pan, cover it, and heat it on a medium setting.
  • Cook the angel hair pasta as usual, add the olive oil to the pot to keep the noodles from sticking together. About 2 minutes before the noodles are done, cover the chicken breasts with grated parmesan cheese and heat them on a plate in the microwave for about 45 seconds or until the parmesan is about halfway melted. Strain the noodles and scoop onto the serving plates. Put a chicken breast on top of the noodles and cover with the spaghetti sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your angel hair chicken. Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, and use fresh vegetables and herbs.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to add flavor and moisture. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but still tender and juicy.
  • Don't overcook the angel hair pasta: Angel hair pasta cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (still slightly firm to the bite).
  • Add the vegetables and sauce to the pasta: Once the pasta is cooked, add the vegetables and sauce to the pan. Stir to combine and heat through.
  • Serve immediately: Angel hair chicken is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the vegetables are still crisp.

Conclusion:

Angel hair chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and al dente pasta, this dish is a winner. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying meal, give angel hair chicken a try.
