CHICKEN PASTA DIVAN



Chicken Pasta Divan image

Here's my take on chicken divan. It's a real kid pleaser and everyone who's ever tried this loves it. I always uses rotini or gemelli for this yummy dish because the little ridges in the corkscrew pasta holds onto the rich, cheesy sauce really well.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb rotini pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup flour
salt and pepper
garlic powder
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup sliced mushroom cap
2 roasted red peppers, diced small
2 cups broccoli florets
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3/4 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Boil the water and cook the pasta according to package directions. DO NOT ever add oil to the water! It will make your sauce slide off the pasta later.
  • Meanwhile heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
  • Cut chicken breasts into strips. Put flour in a plastic bag, add a little salt, pepper and garlic powder to your taste and shake the strips in there to coat.
  • Add the coated chicken strips to the hot skillet and brown.
  • Turn burner down to medium-low and add the cream, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, mustard and butter. Cook about 5 minutes.
  • Add cheese and wine and stir gently until the cheese melts. When melted, pour over pasta and mix to combine. Serve with a big loaf of Italian bread.
