Chicken And Vegetable Pasta Recipes

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE PENNE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Boil pasta according to package instructions (except I only used 1/2 Tbsp salt). Drain cooked pasta and mix in 1 1/2 tbsp butter so the noodles don't stick to each other.
• Season chicken with salt, pepper and your favorite seasoning such as Mrs. Dash. Grill or saute your seasoned chicken until fully cooked. Let it rest to cool down slightly, then slice it against the grain.
• Heat a deep/large skillet over medium/high heat. Toss in 1 Tbsp butter and a couple Tbsp olive oil. Sautee sliced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms and finely diced onions until soft (about 8 min).
• Once the veggies are cooked, stir in the pasta, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cooked chicken and mix well. Pour in 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (if using) and 3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese. Stir to combine. Set the pan back over the heat and heat everything thoroughly stirring several times until the sauce is creamy and cheese is melted.

ONE POT CREAMY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE PASTA

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper; set aside.
• In a 12-inch pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and stir until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until brown on both sides. Stir in the garlic and cook one additional minute. Add the uncooked pasta, chicken broth, water, broccoli, red bell pepper, carrots and peas. Stir, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 22 minutes.
• Uncover and cook until almost all of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 additional minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted.
• Divide the pasta and vegetables between four bowls, and garnish with parsley (if using). Serve immediately.

CHICKEN AND PASTA CASSEROLE WITH MIXED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place fusilli pasta in the pot, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in the skillet, and season with minced onion, salt and pepper, garlic powder, basil, and parsley. Cook until chicken juices run clear. Mix in the cooked pasta, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and mixed vegetables. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
• In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and butter. Spread evenly over the casserole.
• Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven until bubbly and lightly browned.

VEGGIE CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until browned completely, 3 to 5 minutes. Add asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and mushrooms; continue to cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes more.
• Pour chicken broth over the vegetable mixture, place a cover on the skillet, and continue cooking until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir cooked pasta into the vegetable mixture; season with red pepper flakes and top with feta cheese.

MEAL-PREP GARLIC CHICKEN AND VEGGIE PASTA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat.
• Add in diced chicken breast, followed by 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon oregano. Cook until no longer pink. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
• Add carrots to skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender.
• Add in zucchini and yellow squash, and sauté for an additional minute until they become slightly translucent.
• Add in the kale, followed by 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Sauté until kale begins to wilt.
• Move veggies aside with spatula and add in garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds and then combine with the veggies. (This works best if you add garlic to the center of the skillet where there is more heat.)
• Add in the cooked rotini pasta and chicken, followed by 1 teaspoon oregano and mix until evenly incorporated. Remove skillet from heat.
• If using plastic tupperware for your weekday meal prep, allow pasta to cool for about 10 minutes before filling the containers. Refrigerate up to 4 days.
• Or serve immediately for a family dinner.
• Enjoy!
