WEEKNIGHT CHICKEN FLORENTINE PASTA



Weeknight Chicken Florentine Pasta image

This dish is so fast to make, and is company worthy. For faster preparation- wilt the spinach at the same time you drain the pasta. You can also take three regular chicken breasts and cut them in half.

Provided by thedailygourmet

Categories     Chicken Pasta

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound fettuccine
6 (4 ounce) thin boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
1 teaspoon cantanzaro herbs (such as Savory Spice Shop®) or Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup diced onion
2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 cloves minced garlic
¼ cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
1 cup shaved Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup 1% milk
1 (8 ounce) package fresh spinach

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, season both sides of the chicken breasts with herbs, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken breasts until golden, 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet, set aside, and keep warm.
  • Add the onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic to the skillet, scraping up the browned bits with a spatula. Pour in wine to deglaze and allow to reduce by half. Stir in Parmesan cheese and cream until sauce starts to thicken. If sauce seems too thick, add milk (or more cream) and stir to combine.
  • Place spinach in the bottom of a colander. Carefully drain pasta into colander and 'wilt' spinach with the hot pasta water. Add pasta and spinach to the sauce in the skillet, and mix to combine. Add cooked chicken back to skillet. Cook until flavors are well combined and chicken is heated through, about 1 more minute.
  • To serve, place pasta mixture in a bowl, top with a cooked chicken breast, and serve with more Parmesan cheese if desired.

VELVEETA CHICKEN SPAGHETTI RECIPE



Velveeta Chicken Spaghetti Recipe image

Provided by á-2908

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup Bell pepper
1/2 cup Oleo or olive oil
1 medium Onion
2 12-oz cans Chicken broth
1 12-oz can Cream of chicken soup
1 12-oz can Cream of mushroom soup
3 cups Diced cooked chicken
1 16-oz can Rotel tomatoes
1 pound Thin spaghetti
1/2 pound Velveeta cheese
Salt and pepper
1 12-oz can Mushrooms
1 12-oz can Black pitted olives

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or cooking pot, saute bell pepper and onion in oleo (or olive oil if you prefer). Add 1 can of chicken broth and chicken. Simmer until tender. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces as it's cooking. Use 3 cups of chicken. (I've used packaged chicken tenderloins, as well as pre-cooked chicken from the deli. Whatever is convenient. It's all good.) Add all soups and Ro-tel tomatoes. Stir well. Simmer for about 15 minutes until chicken is done. Cook the spaghetti in boiling water or chicken broth until just slightly cooked "al dente" - you don't want to over-cook it because it will be cooking more in the oven. Drain, rinse, and set aside until you are ready to mix with chicken/sauce ingredients in baking dish for the oven. In a large baking dish or oven-proof pot, place the cooked and cut up chicken, cooked spaghetti, salt and pepper, cheese, and soup mixture. Depending on how creamy you like this dish, you may want to add extra chicken broth before you bake. (I always do). Stir very well to mix all ingredients evenly. I usually stir once after about 15 minutes in the oven - after the cheese has had time to melt. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 , 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup bell pepper
1/2 cup oleo or 1/2 cup olive oil
1 medium onion
2 (12 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (12 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 (12 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
3 cups diced cooked chicken
1 (16 ounce) can Rotel Tomatoes
1 lb thin spaghetti
1/2 lb Velveeta cheese
salt and pepper
1 (12 ounce) can mushrooms
1 (12 ounce) can black pitted olives

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or cooking pot, saute bell pepper and onion in oleo (or olive oil if you prefer).

  • You can add canned or fresh mushrooms if you like.
  • Also, for a nice touch - (looks pretty for guests) you can add one can of black olives, sprinkled over the top of the casserole. (optional).(I slice them to make them go further).
  • Please note that if you want to cut the fat from your diet, this tastes equally good with fat-free soups and the "lite" velveeta. You can also leave out the olive oil or oleo and spray the pan with pam and add extra fat-free chicken broth.
  • A good company dish. Everyone always seems to enjoy this dish and I usually get asked for the recipe. Also, children seem to especially like this dish.
