The same friend that gave me the Chicken Elia recipe (#104990) gave me this one. I usually serve it over rice.

Time 1h

Yield 1 casserole, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
1 teaspoon minced garlic
5 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow squash, julienned
1 small zucchini, julienned
1 red sweet bell pepper, julienned
4 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon seasoned pepper
2 teaspoons pesto sauce mix
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta, cooked al dente, drained
1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium heat, saute chicken and garlic in butter for 15 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
With butter in skillet, saute squash, zucchini, and sweet bell pepper and cook just until tender crisp.
In a small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter and add flour, seasoned salt, salt, black pepper, and pesto seasoning. Stir to form a paste.
Over medium high heat, gradually add broth, stirring constantly, until thick.
Stir in cream and heat thoroughly.
In a large bowl, combine chicken vegetables, broth-cream mixture, and drained pasta.
Transfer to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Uncover and sprinkle parmesan cheese over top of casserole and return to oven for 5 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken: Go for free-range or organic chicken for the best flavor and quality.
Use fresh herbs and vegetables: Fresh ingredients will give your chicken a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
Marinate your chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil will help it stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
Cook your chicken over indirect heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out and burning.
Use a meat thermometer: Cooking your chicken to the proper internal temperature is essential for safety and flavor. Aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for whole chicken and 175°F (80°C) for boneless, skinless chicken breasts and thighs.
Let your chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cooking chicken in the garden is a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious, home-cooked meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a variety of flavorful chicken dishes that your family and friends will love. So fire up the grill or smoker and get cooking!
