CHICKEN AND PENNE PARMESAN

Can also use broccoli in place of asparagus for those that don't like it. My 3 year old grandson gobbles this up. I had tried something similar in a restaurant that was to die for, so found something similar and changed it to my tastes.

Time 45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
3 -4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2 2/3 cups penne rigate, uncooked
1 bunch fresh asparagus
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • In 5 quart saucepan over medium heat, melt butter; add chicken.
  • Cook until no longer pink.
  • Add broth; heat to boiling.
  • Add uncooked pasta and pepper, stirring to coat pasta with liquid.
  • Heat to boiling; reduce heat.
  • Cover; simmer 7 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.
  • Add asparagus, continue to cook another 7 minutes or until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, in medium bowl, stir together soup, milk and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese until smooth; stir into chicken mixture.
  • Heat until mixture just comes to a boil; sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic chicken, flavorful penne pasta, and a good quality Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook it until it is just cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: A good Alfredo sauce will make all the difference in this dish. Look for a sauce that is rich, creamy, and flavorful.
  • Don't skimp on the Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese is what gives this dish its signature flavor. Use a generous amount, both in the sauce and on top of the pasta.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken and penne Parmesan is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken and penne Parmesan is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying dish that your family and friends will love.
