Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
½ cup salted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 pound) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover, reduce heat to a gentle boil, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes.

  • Add Cheddar cheese and stir together, mixing well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat until cheese is thoroughly melted, stirring occasionally to keep from scorching.

PASTA WITH CREAMY PUMPKIN SAUCE (FROM EVERYDAY FOOD)



Pasta With Creamy Pumpkin Sauce (From Everyday Food) image

This looks great and easy enough for a fall weeknight! The original recipe called for rosemary, but I am a big fan of pumpkin and basil! This is a great light dinner, or a good side dish. Update: Thanks to Amaze-Ing Me, I went back and tweaked the sauce a bit to make it even better! Update: I made this quicker after needing to rush for dinner one night--you can't even tell the difference! I also added some poached chicken to make it a real one dish meal and it was great!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces penne pasta or 12 ounces other short pasta
kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup half-and-half or 1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup apple cider
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
2 teaspoons dried basil
3 dashes nutmeg
1 dash cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon white pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente. (I generally use 4 qts of water with 2 Tbs kosher salt.) Drain well, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the water. Sprinkle with olive oil and toss.
  • Over medium low heat, mix pumpkin puree, garlic, milk, apple cider, parmesan, vinegar, pepper, salt, basil, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and 3/4 to 1 cup of pasta water to pot. Stir sauce until heated through--5 to 10 minutes.
  • Check sauce seasoning and add additional salt to taste.
  • Add pasta and sauce to pasta pot and toss to coat. If sauce is too thick, add some additional pasta water.

Tips:

  • Use canned pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin can be difficult to find and prepare, so canned pumpkin puree is a great substitute. Just make sure to choose a brand that is unsweetened.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry, so be careful not to cook it for too long.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The Parmesan cheese adds a lot of flavor to this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The spaghetti will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

    Conclusion:

    This creamy pumpkin spaghetti with chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The creamy pumpkin sauce is rich and flavorful, and the chicken is tender and juicy. Serve this dish with a side of crusty bread or a salad for a complete meal.
