Sun dried tomato pasta chicken.


Mondays are usually hard and difficult for some people, specially when it comes to making a meal. So here is a recipe that is so easy and simple. When it comes to easy and simple it comes down to one thing for me which is pasta. It’s fast to make and you can never go wrong with it. I hope you get to try out this recipe. 





 Sun dried tomato pasta chicken.



Things you need:

900 g of Fusilli pasta.
1 tbsp butter.
3-4 chicken breasts cut into cube size.
2 tsp Italian seasoning.
1 1/4 tsp grounded cayenne pepper.
About 10 slices of sun dried tomato.  
3 garlic cloves minced.
1/2 cup of 35% cooking cream.
1 1/2 cups of milk.
Pack of white mushrooms.
1 cup chicken broth.
1 1/2 cups grated Mozzarella cheese. However, you can use whatever cheese you have.
1/2 tsp salt.
1/4 tsp freshly grounded black pepper.
3 cups of baby spinach.



Execute:

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, once its cooked drain it and give it an ice bath. That stops the pasta from over cooking and turning to mush.

Melt the butter in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken, the Italian seasonings, the cayenne, salt and black pepper. Sauté the chicken until it’s cooked, and then remove the chicken from the pan.
Take out the dried tomato slices and drain them from the oil, chop them to smaller pieces, add them to the pan with the garlic and mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes, while cooking the dried tomatoes you’ll get some oil out of it which is fine it’ll give the dish a nice flavor.
Add the cooking cream, milk, chicken broth, and the grated cheese. Stir until the sauce is smooth and bubbly and the cheese has melted. The sauce should’ve thickened slightly by now, no worries it’ll keep on thickening once adding the pasta and the chicken.
Now stir in the pasta, and chicken fold in with the sauce let everything absorb the flavor now add in the baby spinach. The spinach might seem a lot but no worries it will shrink in size and almost disappear. If needed, and you find the sauce has thickened more than you want just add a little bit of chicken broth or milk to the sauce to thin it out. If the opposite happens and the sauce is very thin add more cheese to thicken, stir it for a full 5 minutes to really thicken. 

There you have it a very easy and simple way to make Monday dinner. I hope you get to enjoy this.
