Creamy chicken, squash & pecan pasta image

This crowd-pleasing pasta is easy to make, healthy and satisfying with squash providing 1 of your 5-a-day and pecans stirred through, which add a nice crunch

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1l chicken stock
½ butternut squash , peeled and chopped into small chunks
2 chicken breasts
400g pasta (we used casarecce)
50g cream cheese
75g pecans , chopped
small pack flat-leaf parsley , chopped
25g parmesan grated, plus extra to serve

Steps:

  • Pour the stock into a pan and bring to a simmer. Add the squash and chicken, cover and bubble gently for 15 mins, or until the chicken and squash are cooked. If the chicken cooks first, remove from the pan, set aside and keep boiling the squash until tender. Scoop the squash out with a slotted spoon, leaving just the stock in the pan.
  • Bring the stock back to the boil and add the pasta; the liquid should just cover the pasta. Cook, stirring regularly, until the pasta is just tender and most of the stock has been absorbed (top up with water if necessary). Shred the chicken.
  • Return the squash to the pan and add the cream cheese, pecans, parsley and parmesan. Simmer for another min or two, then add the chicken. Season and serve with extra parmesan, if you like.

CHICKEN PECAN FETTUCCINE



Chicken Pecan Fettuccine image

A delicious chicken in cream sauce over fettuccine with pecans sprinkled on top. I got this recipe at my grocery store and it is quick (25 minutes start to finish) and luscious. I don't buy chicken cut into tenders because it is more expensive. I just use 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (5 oz size). If you don't like mushrooms feel free to leave them out. Half of my family doesn't like them so I saute them separately for those who like them. This is perfect with broccoli Italiano.
