HERBED CHICKEN PASTA

I found this recipe many years ago in a Cooking Light magazine and it is my husband's favorite pasta dish. It's quick and easy, low cal and low fat too. We are garlic lovers and usually add 3 cloves of garlic to the dish. A green salad and french bread make a super meal. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount since they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through. This means that the internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality pasta: The type of pasta you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Be sure to use a good quality pasta that is made from durum wheat.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Be careful not to overcook the pasta. Overcooked pasta is mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Add the cheese at the end: Add the cheese to the pasta at the end of the cooking process. This will prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery.
  • Serve immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. This is when it is at its most flavorful.

Conclusion:

Herbed chicken pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give herbed chicken pasta a try. You won't be disappointed!
